Every year World Art Day on April 15th celebrates to promote the development, diffusion and enjoyment of art. This day is being celebrated all over the world to emphasize the importance of art that nurtures creativity, innovation and cultural diversity for all peoples across the globe. Promoting the development of art is also stated as a mean to achieve a free and peaceful world as it encourages greater awareness of the diversity of artistic expressions and also highlights the role play of artists towards sustainable development.
The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP) organizes this day and promotes international collaboration through art. This association is an NGO partner of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Every year, the city of Los Angeles hosts a variety of festivities to celebrate this day.
The IAA/AIAP and UNESCO founded World Art Day in 2012. They chose the date of April 15th as it coincided with Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday. Known as one of the most famous artists in history, Leonardo da Vinci has become a symbol of peace, freedom of expression, and tolerance and brotherhood.
