World Art Day Celebrated on 15 April 2025.

Important Days

World Art Day (WAD) is observed annually on April 15 across the globe to highlight the importance of art in fostering creativity, cultural exchange, and sustainable development. It aims to enhance the relationship between artistic creations and society, while also promoting global awareness of diverse forms of artistic expression.


      - The theme for WAD 2025 was "DNA - Do No Algorithm," which underscores the value of human imagination and creativity as a counterbalance to the rise of AI-generated art.

      - The celebrations are led by the International Association of Art/Association Internationale des Arts Plastiques (IAA/AIAP), a Paris (France)-based NGO that works in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

     

Main Point :-   (i) In April 2011, the 17th General Assembly of the IAA/AIAP held in Guadalajara, Mexico, adopted a proposal by the Turkish National Committee to observe April 15 as World Art Day.
