Since 2004, art lovers all over the world have celebrated October 25 as International Artist Day. Reason enough to include this occasion in the calendar of curious holidays from all over the world and to shed some light on its history with the following lines.
What is it all about?



When is International Artists' Day?


Since 2004, the International Artist Day has always taken place on 25 October.


Wer hat den International Artist Day ins Leben gerufen?


The International Artist Day is an idea of the Canadian artist Chris MacClure from the year 2004. The Canadian himself achieved international fame as a painter through the style of so-called Romantic Realism in the art world and is considered one of the most distinguished artists in the country.


With the creation of today's International Day of Honour for Artists, MacClure pursued the goal of giving art and all its disciplines the public attention to which it is entitled. A special focus is to be placed on the artist's special view of the world. In short, the International Artist Day celebrates art in all its facets.


Why does International Artists Day fall on 25 October?


On the other hand, in the course of the research for this article, I unfortunately could not find out why MacClure decided on the date of today's October 25.


However, I think it is not entirely unlikely that this date is closely linked to the birthday of the great Spanish painter, graphic artist and sculptor Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973). After all, the artist, born Pablo Ruiz Picasso, is considered one of the defining figures of modern art and its development.


Whether the initiator also had the World Pizza Makers Day or World Pasta Day, also celebrated on April 25, or the US National Greasy Food Day or Sourest Day, the sourest day of the year, in mind, is unfortunately not known.


What is the best way to celebrate World Artists' Day?


Well, the name is to be understood programmatically today, October 25. In this respect, the World Day of Artists can be celebrated, for example, as follows:


A visit to an art museum or a local gallery.

  Read an artist's biography.

  Buy a picture or even better:

  Become artistically active yourself.


With this in mind: A great International Artist Day for all of you. No matter where in the world you celebrate this day of action.



😉 We can also celebrate this here in the community. 💓


That's why I would like to thank our charming @Elsa very much and sweetly. She makes the signatures for the players and aren't they pretty?

I love all these great signatures.


She is learning more and more how to make even better signatures. 


Now they have been improved as animated signatures. I think they're great.


Thank you very much Elsa. 🤗


Dear Racoon. I hope it's ok for you that I took your picture! @Racoon7 😘


I chose this picture because I am for a fantasy world. 🎨 Simply a miracle from Elsa's hands. 🎁

💞 I love it 💖
