According
to the official Art Day website, the second Friday in August
each year is Art Day, a holiday for the arts.
Remember,
“the arts” means more than just paint on a canvas.
The arts
include theater, music, poetry, dance, sculpture, photography, drawing, painting, literature...
...and all sorts of other pursuits
such as creating beautiful objects out of glass and weaving
tapestries and hammering out a glorious, well-balanced sword.

Art
Day is the perfect time to celebrate creativity by making art, trying
out a new art form, going to a performance or gallery or museum and
enjoying someone else's art, and even giving art to one another in
the form of cards, poems, and songs.
If
you want to celebrate the art of photography by entering a
competition, you have a few hours left – Artists for a Better World
are accepting up to three photos in digital form per person, up until
5:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. Check the link above for more details –
like the theme and the email address!
