Love American Sign Language? Support Deaf Artists!

ASL is a real, valuable, and beautiful language, used every day by members of the deaf community. It has a rich history, its own rules, and culture. Even better? When you purchase from a deaf artist, you are connecting with and supporting the deaf community and you can be confident that the signs in your art are correct because you bought from a native signer. 58 Creativity was founded to show ASL in clear, visual art that is easy to understand, even if you’re seeing ASL for the first time!

(Im afraid to talk to people online so im using anon HOWEVER)

If you want to find some places to meet Deaf/HoH people you gotta go to Facebook groups! I found this local group to me that meet like once or twice a month who were willing to allow someone who's learning in and I've been going since. Anyways I highly recommended checking local Facebook stuff. There's also some state led websites that people put their events on but you know how that is. I've been learning ASL for about a year now and the thing that made me grow the most is being in the middle of like 30 people signing. Scary but fun! Good luck finding people to chat with 💚

Hi! Thank you so much for your advice. I don't use Facebook but any help is always appreciated.

I have been looking around for months, but it seems my town lacks many things like that. 😮‍💨

I may just get Facebook just to join a group but who knows.

Philosophy

This is what I'm doing instead of my philosophy homework. Somebody tell me to get off tumblr.com and study
