On August 7th, 2000, a baby website was born. Throughout the years, we've grown up, expanded, learned, and been touched by deviants in the community in ways that were so fulfilling, it only seems fitting, 10 years later, to give back to the community by hosting an enormous BirthdAy Bash!
If it takes a village to raise a child, then it takes a community of dedicated, talented deviants to strengthen and nurture a website through its tenth year and beyond. Armed with the hard work, dedication, and love from every deviant — member to volunteer to staff — our sights are set on the future and all the fun features and improvements we're equipped to add to our arsenal of awesomeness.
It doesn't matter if you've been on deviantART for 10 years or if you signed up last month. It doesn't matter if you're the next Picasso or if you just uploaded your first deviation from a napkin. You are the reason we're here, the reason the we come to work every day, and the reason we come up with new and exciting features that will help you become the artist you've always dreamed you'd be. And for that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts... with a huge-ass party!
(In the event you can't party with us in person, we encourage you to host or attend a satellite BirthdAy Bash deviantMEET in your area. If that's still not your style, fear not! We'll also be featuring a plethora of online birthday events for you to partake in during our birthday week.)
hope you all had fun there, though!
Happy birthday deviantART!
My favourite dA artist!
