The best way to celebrate International Artists Day is to support your local artists. It’s amazing that talent can be found in every corner of our world, so there’s a high chance that an artist lives very close to you. So if you know one, try to help them and encourage them to showcase their talent to the world. There are many ways you can help them by organizing an event for them and giving them a platform, and you can also give them suggestions on how to improve their skills by suggesting an academy for example.

It’s time you bring out your inner artist, let’s rewind a little bit in your memories and try to remember the activity that you enjoyed the most in your youth and later because with your life you left it for years. So use this day as an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of art according to your interests, from simple paintings to performing arts such as dancing or singing, etc.

Museums and art galleries can be another way to celebrate this day, and many of them offer creative arts classes. So visit your local arts venues and maybe sign up for something that will add a new skill of self-expression to your life. Otherwise, if you don’t have time for that, then no need to worry either as you can spend this day simply admiring the art around you. You can also help artists around the world by funding many art organizations around the world that help artists around the world.
