World Art Day is observed on April 15. Art has always been a powerful medium of expression and exploring emotions. World Art Day assumes great importance amid the pandemic as it helps one to cope with stress specially at a time when people of all age groups are forced to lead an isolated life.
- World Art Day is a UNESCO dedicated day. World Art Day was proclaimed at the 40th session of UNESCO's General Conference in 2019.
- On World Art Day, in a message, Audrey Azoulay, the Director General of UNESCO said, "Bringing people together, inspiring, soothing and sharing: these are the powers of art, the importance of which has been made emphatically obvious during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. With hundreds of thousands of people directly affected by the virus and billions more either in lockdown or battling the pandemic on the front lines, this World Art Day is a timely reminder that art has the power to unite and connect in times of crisis."
