Why is World Art Day 2022 celebrated?
Art plays a fundamental role in the cultural diversity of all the peoples that inhabit the world and allows us to exchange knowledge between different cultures, supporting diversity and dialogue. That is why it was so important for UNESCO that art should have a world day to celebrate it.
Some of the objectives of the celebration of World Art Day are: creating awareness of the diversity of the different artistic schools and expressions, highlighting the contribution that artists make to the development of a more sustainable world, the importance of culture in terms of equitable, equal and inclusive education and the importance and respect that every culture deserves.
