International Artist Day is celebrated annually on October 25 to honor artists, their cultural contributions, and creative expression.

The date was chosen to coincide with Pablo Picasso's birthday (10/25/1881). The best way to observe the day is to visit an art museum, gallery, or community studio. If you want to celebrate properly, give us a visit and check out the Picasso in our collection! ------- Pictured: Pablo Picasso, Seated Woman, Red and Yellow Background (Femme assise, fond rouge et jaune), 1952, Enamel on composition board, 49 1/4 × 31 7/8 in., Gift of Julian and Josie Robertson
