Day of the Year
International Artist Day
International Artist Day was founded by Chris MacClure, a Canadian artist who specializes in the style known as ‘Romantic Realism’.

He created this day to bring recognition to the world of art, and to celebrate all the ways that artists bring their own special view to life.
