Do you practice any of the creative arts? Do you dance? Write poetry? Paint? Sculpt? Sketch? Compose music? Doodle? Capture moments in photographs? Perform on stage? Busk at the train station? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you can consider yourself an artist.
The 25th of October is devoted to celebrating artists and their contribution to the world we live in. Michelangelo and Beethoven and Shakespeare had their day. Yes, their creative efforts do continue to impact us in significant ways. But with every passing day, new artists are born into our world. They add to the influence and the capacity to influence. If you have made and continue to make art in any form, then you are an artist, growing in your craft. We celebrate YOU today – #InternationalArtistsDay – and look forward to how you will continue to change the world in your own way.
If there is someone whose creative expression inspires or encourages you, copy the image from this page and post it on that person’s Facebook page or Twitter feed. Take a moment to acknowledge their creative contribution to your life. Express some gratitude to the creative people who help to make the world a better place by opening our eyes and ears to the beauty they experience.
#InternationalArtistsDay
Thanks for the heads up about today. Didn’t even know such a day existed. I am going to pop into a gallery near my work and wish everyone a happy #InternationalArtistsDay.
It’s my pleasure, Denise. And thank YOU for making time to celebrate your local artists and the people who help get their art to market.
Yes. It is not just the big names that should be celebrated. Go local!
Absolutely, Xolani. I hope you enjoyed celebrating your local artists for #InternationalArtistsDay.
