The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP), a partner of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), marks World Art Day on April 15 to celebrate the richness of art and promote awareness of creative activity.
The World Art Day is celebrated in order to honour and mark the birthday of the greatest artists of all time, Leonardo da Vinci. Vinci, the painter of the famous Mona Lisa painting, is also known as a symbol of world peace, freedom of expression, tolerance and brotherhood.
The first-ever World Art Day was celebrated on April 15, 2012. Since, the celebration for the day is held in Los Angeles every year.
