reddit's creative communities with added statue selfies

Dream Big by /u/youngluck

"Think left and think right
Think low and think high.
Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”

One thing that never fails to surprise us is the limitless potential of the reddit community. Like this example of art imitating life. This is why we wanted to highlight the creative side of reddit. Art and Culture are an integral part of all communities, and the reddit community is no different.

Art, being subjective, can mean different things to different people. One look at r/art and /r/museum shows the reddit community obviously has an interest in looking at things that make their eyes and brain feel nice. We want to share only a tiny selection of the subreddits on offer. This is only the tip of the iceberg of the various art related subreddits that exist.

Painting/Drawing: You may have heard of the popular /r/redditgetsdrawn, where redditors draw redditors, but there are a number of other subreddits dedicated to the appreciation and creation of different types of artwork. Here are a few of our favorites:

Creation/Design: Have a look at how creative people can be when it comes to items of a 3D variety.

Creative writing subreddits: A place where walls of text (be they beautifully written, funny, moving or thought provoking) are encouraged rather than apologised for, and where tl:dr is rarely an issue.

Photography: A picture is worth 1000 upvotes.

Everyone has their own creative outlet, and nearly every creative outlet has its own subreddit. If you can’t find a subreddit that captures your creative vision it might be time to start a movement for yourself. If you want to learn more there are plenty of resources from the /r/WritingPrompts wiki to /r/learnart. We hope you found this blog post inspirational. Go forth on reddit and make art!
