Hello everyone,
For those of you who don't know, a few months ago I started a little project that I called "Group Spotlight" in which I feature one group per journal, and the work recently submitted into that same group. The groups I choose are ones that are active within the community, i.e: they host contests, write features, lead projects, etc.
The purpose is to encourage groups to be active within the community, "reward" those that are, or rather thank them for their great work, showcase amazing artists, and help members of the community find new groups to join!
If you'd like to suggest a group that you feel should be feature, please do! I'm most involved in photography, digital art, and a little bit of traditional and literature, so it'd be great to receive suggestions of groups I'm not familiar with, and would have a hard time finding! Just leave a comment here or send me a note!

Group Spotlight vol.1Hello everyone,
I'd like to start a new series of features where I spotlight a group that contributes to the DeviantArt community somehow either by promoting unknown art, doing regular features, holding competitions, promoting critique/comment systems, showcasing resources to help members improve, etc. I'm hoping to possibly bring to light some great groups here on dA and possibly attract them new members or watchers, by showcasing deviations from their gallery after a brief introduction of the group in itself. Enjoy andplease!
:Iconsoftness-art:
Softness-Art is a group centered around photography that is "soft", "sweet", "emotive". Those are the words I would use to qualify the photography that they submit to their folders. It's a group where you will find touching, beautiful, delicate yet strong, and emotional photos from some talented photographers. They are fairly strict when it comes to quality, but remain fair, and simply wish to share great photography wit

:iconhigh-quality:
High Quality was created about 6 months ago and has been doing extremely well ever since. Every week they feature one of their members in a journal on their page, and while they are named "High Quality", do not let that convince you they're an elitist group, because they are not. They regularly accept unknown art, or art from unknown artists which is quite
