As an artist, the forum is not closed to you! Though the forum is a public place for discussion, there are many Forums within the forum for a budding artist to use effectively. This article aims to explain a few opportunities for an artist to involve themselves in in an artistic way.
Firstly, there are the main discussion Forums for art:
You are free to discuss about anything related to art here, provided you do so in the correct Forum! The General Forum holds the discussion of all art topics that do not belong in the Photography Forum, Digital Art Forum or Literature Forum. The latter three forums are dedicated to just Photography, Digital Art, and Literature, respectively.
However, if you do not want to talk about art, how about sharing your art and giving and getting feedback from your fellow artists? You can do so in the Deviation Thumbshare Forum and the Premium Thumbshare Forum if you have a Premium Membership. Here's a handy FAQ to showcasing your art! FAQ #511: How do I post thumbnails of my art on the Chat Network or Forums? If you browse this particular forum, you may get more exposure, views, comments, favourites, watches and more on your art!
As artists, some of you will have your hands deep in commissions and more. If you have commissions to promote, then the Projects Forum is for you! It is also the place to promote your requests, art trades, onsite contests, giveaways, contributions to deviantART and offsite projects! Not only can you use this forum to promote your artistic endeavours, you can also seek artists as well. There are plenty that will offer you a service for free.
If you're a bit up-scale than that and you'd rather not be involved in free shenanigans, then Job Offers Forum and Job Services Forum are for you. These two forums are for paid artistic endeavours only. If you have a job offer for an artist and you'd like to pay them money, then advertise it in the Job Offers Forum. However, if you have an artistic service to provide for others for a fee, then announcing it to the world in the Job Services Forum is the way to go.
Let's not forget the Groups, Chatrooms & Events Forum if you want to promote one of your :devgroups:, chat, or external and off-site events! If you're not interested in promoting anything, or discussing or sharing art, then you can always create some art in the DrawPLZ Forum using DeviantArt muro!
In fact, there is a PE: Muro Challenge for Premium Membership! hosted by BitterBeanJuicer in there right now, so why don't you pop on over and join in on the fun?

Magic Week - Reverse Caption
The power flowed into him, filling his lungs, spreading out in his blood like oxygen, and settling into the marrow of his bones. He felt himself smile in a way that he hadn't since he was a boy learning to cast his first spell. He had devoted decades to the study of magic, but now, now he was magic. A glow lit the trees around him. He couldn't be sure if it was the setting sun, or if the glow came from his own skin. A beetle crawled on the ground nearby, seemingly unconcerned with what it had just witnessed, but yet its movements were in time with his heartbeat. A bird in the sky flapped its wings to the same rhythm. A breeze plucked at his hair and clothes. He began to dance, slowly at first; he followed the wind, and the wind followed him. He moved faster, twirling and leaping, until even the fallen leaves were dancing around him. When he stopped, all was still. He smiled again, and raised his arms to the sky. The first stars were visible. He watched them for a long
