Today is Picasso’s birthday and has been chosen to celebrate International Artist Day. Here is a website International Artist Day (http://www.internationalartistday.com) and blog (http://internationalartistday.blogspot.com/).  This is truly international – it is very exciting. There are articles on the website from different parts of the world – like Mexico, Canada, Nepal, Spain and the US. It is wonderful to see people cooperating across borders around the earth!!

International Artist Day

I think next year it might make sense to have one of the AWE Projects (Artist Window Exhibit) in Greenfield, MA around this special day. What fun to be networking and connecting with all these artists all over!! The blog and website have lots of suggestions of how to promote and support art.

The articles are thoughtful … reminding us all that artists have always played an important part of creating culture … and artists have also tended to be at the cutting edge of change. Let’s celebrate us all and each other in knowing we are a crucial part of our world … and give hope and inspiration to us all.  Thank you for coming by!
