Day of the Year.
What is Artist Day?
The first records of the world are not written in books but are captured in paintings, sculptures, and music that helps to paint a picture of the world lost to the past.
Whether it’s revealing a style of dress worn in a period by the clothing worn in the painting, or the slight heresy hidden in some of the world’s most religious works, art can reveal a hidden or lost side of us to the present.
Learn about International Artists Day.
International Artists Day is created so that we can celebrate the incredible world of art and all the amazing and creative work that artists around the world do. We should all take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact that art has on us and the world around us. It is not just about paintings. After all, there are many different forms of art, from sculpture to drawing.
It takes a special kind of person to be an artist. Artists are naturally creative and they usually see things from a different perspective. The work they produce is amazing, and those of us who don't have a creative bone in our bodies can appreciate their talent!
History of International Artists Day.
International Artist Day was founded by Chris MacClure, a Canadian artist who specializes in the style known as ‘Romantic Realism’. His paintings were a way to bring out his own “Romantic Realist” views on life, and have served to make him one of Canada’s most important artists. He created this day to bring recognition to the world of art, and to celebrate all the ways that artists bring their special views to life.
How to Celebrate International Artists Day
A great way to celebrate International Artists Day is to support your local artists, most communities have a local art community that encompasses the unique personality of both the community they live in and the artist themselves. If you're looking for something to spruce up your living room or bedroom, head out and find a unique piece that will bring life and personality to your home.
Museums and Art Galleries can be another way to celebrate this day and many of these offer classes in creative arts. So visit your local artistic establishments, and maybe enroll in something to add a new skill of self-expression to your life.
While this is a celebration day, one way you can also support artists is by helping them recover artwork that has been stolen. Plus, artists should take the required steps to protect their work, such as adding it to the Art Database Registry. Art is a lucrative industry at a high level, and this can result in artists being targeted. This is an incredibly upsetting thing for just about any artist or private collector, particularly if the artwork is precious, rare, or holds particular significance.
These days, art businesses and customers know about art theft and that it is a huge issue, plus they wish to be sure they are not purchasing something that is reported as lost or stolen. That is why they’re going to carry out background checks and due diligence. They’ll enter the particulars of the artwork they’ve been offered to ensure it doesn’t have a suspicious history. Should the information appear on the Art Loss register, they are going to report it and take the required measures to ensure it’s returned to its rightful owner. This emphasizes why it’s crucial to feature your artwork on a stolen artwork database.
Another way to celebrate International Artists Day is by taking the time to learn about some of the most famous artists. This includes the likes of Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh. A lot of these artists have interesting backstories and you can take a look at the incredible pieces of work that they have created online. You can also spend some time finding out more about artists that are not as well-known too.
