Online art gallery DeviantArt has launched a new subscription service for artists to offer custom content to their fans, empowering them to monetize their art directly from the platform.

Founded in August 2000 and now a subsidiary of Wix (Nasdaq: WIX), DeviantArt is home to over 65 million registered members worldwide and features an extensive platform used to exhibit, promote, and discover works and other members within a peer community. As the largest aggregator of creative talent on the Internet, fueled by tens of thousands of daily submissions and reaching over 100 million monthly unique visitors, DeviantArt is one of the world’s largest websites enabling participation in the arts at a scale never imagined in the traditional art world.

DeviantArt Subscriptions is exclusive to Core Members and enables artists to offer their fans exclusive content, allowing them to earn a monthly income and grow their audience directly from the platform. The subscription service encourages any type of artist—from photographers to digital artists and storytellers—to share never-before-seen art, journals detailing their latest projects, new tutorial videos, custom brush packs, PSD files and more. With Subscriptions, artists can create subscription tiers and offer fans access to exclusive content and insights into their process. As the largest online art community in the world, DeviantArt provides artists with access to millions of art lovers worldwide and the opportunity to grow their fan base, engage their community, and monetize their work – all from one platform.

DeviantArt has integrated crypto firm BitPay as a new payment processing option on the platform. Now, DeviantArt artists can also choose to withdraw their earnings and be paid out in bitcoin, Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies via BitPay. In the coming weeks, DeviantArt artists will also be able to offer their fans more payment options for sales on the DeviantArt platform via BitPay, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies. BitPay’s blockchain payment rails integrate seamlessly and provide artists with the opportunity for new sales by attracting buyers who prefer paying with cryptocurrencies.

DeviantArt is one of the first to add BitPay Send, a mass payout service that enables organizations of all sizes to pay employees, affiliates, customers, vendors, contractors and others with cryptocurrency. Ideal for international and gig economy companies looking for a fast, efficient and secure way to send mass payouts, BitPay Send allows for crypto payments anywhere in the world, on any day of the week, and at any time.

“We are driven to empower our community of artists with the tools they need today to be secure as they continue to grow,” said Angelo Sotira, Co-founder and CEO of DeviantArt. “The launch of our subscription service, alongside our other recent announcements, make DeviantArt the perfect place for artists to explore and expand upon their personal and professional goals. In the ever-evolving landscape of digital art, we strive to continue innovating for the next generation of creators.”
