International Artist Day


We celebrate International Artist Day on October 25. Art as a creative human expression encapsulates myriad things. It portrays the beauty of life or a bitter reality. It records history, revolutions, rebellions, and sometimes is a means to escape them. In short, there is no history or culture without art. This day celebrates all forms of art — paintings, sculpture, photography, architecture, music, and more.

Canadian artist, Chris MacClure started International Artist Day in 2004. Since then, October 25th has been a day dedicated to celebrating all the contributions artists have given to society.

The day also celebrates one of the most famous artists, Pablo Picasso who was born on October 25th, 1881.
