Deaf culture and art work incredibly well together, as they are both extremely visual as well as expressive. There are a large number of deaf artists, many of whom are known of and respected around the globe. In an article written by Jamie Berke titled "Deaf Culture Deaf Art" the author defines deaf art as, "art created by a deaf/hoh person that expresses some aspect of deafness and hearing loss". Within the deaf community, deaf-themed art is sometimes referred to as De'Via (deaf view/image art).
Social gatherings within deaf culture often include storytelling, performances of various types and even comedies.
