There is a great new club on the dA site and I am proud to announce that I have just become one of the club administrators. The new group is the dA-naturist Club and it was designed to help build a community of artists who create photographs and works of art that celebrate the natural beauty of the human body.

Body acceptance and personal freedom are core naturist values, and millions of people around the world visit nude beaches, clothing-optional resorts, and natural hot springs because these venues allow them the freedom to swim and enjoy the outdoors without clothes and without shame in a positive and supportive environment. We hope to create a virtual naturist venue here on the dA site so that artists can come together and share their ideas and their beautiful art.

I am especially pleased to be working with Kim [link] and Henrik [link] on this exciting new club. They are both active members of the dA community who have created wonderful stock galleries that include beautiful nude images that have been used in creative projects by many other members including me. Together, we hope to encourage practicing naturists to join our club as well as others who would just like to learn more about this lifestyle.

Nudity has long been a central theme in all art forms, and so it seems natural to us that we can help to recognize those dA artists who are able to find endlessly creative ways to portray the beauty and grace of the human form.
