I've had the pleasure of being a part of two deviantart groups that I've been pretty involved with. The first was culart, years ago, and the second is culinary arts club, of which I am now a part.

The cool thing about culart was that they held contests with various themes. Cultural identity, season themes, well actually, only those two because culart didn't last that long. And it appears that the same thing is happening with culinary arts club. There are currently three admins for the club, a founder, co-founder, and a single contributor. That contributor would be me. I've received various requests to become contributors from various deviants, but ultimately what they want isn't what it is to be a contributor; for the most part they just want to submit art, which you don't need to be a contributor for. So they just join as a member. And that is perfectly fine, I have no problem with that, nor do I think its intrinsic to the life of the club.

I just checked the club wall today, and its the second time someone has asked if the club is still active. Hopefully some of you club members are my watchers too, and can see what I'm writing here now. Theres only one admin active now. Our founder's account has been deactivated, and the co-founder isn't responding to my messages, nor does he seem very active on dA at all.

So if you're looking for artwork, contribute your artwork! And thus keep the group alive, if you're looking for informative blogs, thats what I'm here for. But understand that I can't provide blogs around the clock. Maybe in this small way this particular bastion of culinary creativity and publicity can remain prominent in the world of DeviantArt.
