A few years ago, I was working at a curatorial studio, mainly responsible for artist relations. It was one of those behind-the-scenes roles that meant a lot to me — reaching out to digital artists, inviting them to be part of exhibitions, and hearing their excitement on the other end. Their gratitude filled my whole heart.

That feeling; that joy of supporting artists, planted a question in me:

Could I build something online that celebrates digital artists in a more accessible way?

Without the need for sponsors or venues or fundraising or all the logistics that come with putting on a physical show?

Turns out I could.

When Digital Arts Blog was born, it was tiny. Like most blogs, we started with five readers. I remember celebrating getting two clicks from Google Search one month because it was more than the month before!

But slowly, through genuine interest, disciplined consistency, and an incredible about of love for this art form, our platform grew. Thousands of digital artists from all around the world are now part of our community. Artists who are creating with heart, with vision, with curiosity.

And this past week, Digital Arts Blog got featured in FeedSpot’s Top 70 New York Art Blogs.

What an honor!

Thank you so much, FeedSpot. Seriously.

If there’s one takeaway I hope you leave with, it’s this:

Keep going.

Even when it feels like no one is listening. Even when it feels like all your effort is disappearing into the void. That quiet, unseen work is part of the path. It matters. It's how all the meaningful things begin — from the heart. And from there, they ripple out, and find others who carry the same spark.

So to everyone who has ever read, shared, supported, or reached out:

Thank you for being here.

You make DAB what it is.

With all my heart,
Cansu
