World Art Day is celebrated on Saturday, being an initiative taken by the International Art Association within the XVII General Assembly in Guadalajara, Mexico. The day was celebrated for the first time in 2012. The date was chosen symbolically to honor the memory of Leonardo da Vinci, a complex sculptor, painter, architect and inventor, born on April 15, 571 years ago.
“Art, through all its forms of manifestation, has the power to bring us together and to be comfort or even support in difficult times, helping us not to lose sight of the essential and to move forward. This year, World Art Day takes place on Holy Saturday, an extremely important day for Orthodox believers who await the Resurrection of the Lord, another occasion when we take care to feed our souls. So today, perhaps more than ever, I want us to celebrate by turning to ourselves, to the fundamental values of the Romanian people, and to put beauty first. At the same time, let’s not forget that art accompanies humanity since ancient times and, beyond its social and identity valences, remains an expression of freedom. Let’s honor our artists and enjoy their creations!”, said the Minister of Culture, Lucian N. Romaşcanu.
