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.
