deviantART is a popular online artistic community.

deviantART aims to provide a place for any artist, photographer, or writer to exhibit and discuss his or her works. It also provides a community of like-minded individuals and is visited by 1.5 million individuals per day who view 35 million pages (per day). The site consists of over 3.5 million users and over 28.5 million submissions as of December, 2006. Submissions to the site grow at a rate of 40,000 per day.

deviantART now displays multiple forms of art and creative expression laid out in an extensive category structure. The artwork on display includes photography, digital art, traditional art, literature and skins for applications. The site also has extensive downloadable resources for use within artworks such as tutorials and stock photography.

On January 16th 2009 "Etisalat" blocked DeviantART. A huge portion of UAE users have made DeviantArt their home, from Traditional Artists to Photographers to Writers.

Till now no reason has been given to block the website. I request Etisalat and TRA to kindly respond.

Whether you are an artist or a Lover of art, please put your signature down so we can present this petition to Etisalat/TRA asking them to kindly unblock this wonderful art community site for us.
