World Art Day 2025!

Get Ready to celebrate!

Theme: See Art, Do Art, Be Art 

2025 Subtheme: “DNA”- Do No Algorithm 

Our theme for World Art Day 2025, "DNA- Do No Algorithm," celebrates the irreplaceable essence of human creativity, presenting works crafted by human artists as a counterpoint to the rise of AI-generated creations.

We are establishing a boundary where using AI (not as a tool but as an originator of an artwork), does not have a place in the creation of original artwork where an artist can generate an idea and print it out.

Discuss: AI Dissolving the Soul of Art

All mediums are considered for World Art day. 

Selected artworks will be on display at our Los Angeles event accompanied by a virtual exhibit online also presented at the event.
