Art is a manifestation of our own self through its aesthetic ideas and emotions in mind manifested on a canvas through shapes and colours. In these dire times, when the world is fighting a war to safeguard health, battles with economy and social conflicts creates equal burden. The situation of war in the world has created physical and mental trauma amongst people. In this time of crisis, when the world is suffering from economic and psychological trauma, art has become a primary source of solace.
World Art Day is an international celebration of the fine arts which was declared by the International Association of Art (IAA) in order to promote awareness of creative activity worldwide. The World Art Day celebrated on April 15 th unites the whole world in a joyous festival dedicated to art. On the birth anniversary of Leonardo Da Vinci, the International Association of Art (AIAP/IAA), official partner of UNESCO in India, observes World Art Day to promote international collaboration through art.
On the occasion of the World Art Day, we are also celebrating’ Azadi ka Amrit Mahaotsav’, the 75 th year of Indian Independence and the 150th birth anniversary of Sree Abanindranath Tagore. The image of the Bharat Mata created by Sree Abanindranath Tagore had inspired the movement of freedom struggle. Honouring the movement of independence, IAA India has decided upon the theme of “Bande Bharat”(Showing adoration to our motherland) for the commemoration of World Art Day 2022. IAA India, official partner of UNESCO has decided to organize a National Art Contest which will be held online for all artists across Pan-India to celebrate the event of World Art Day.
