World Art Day

What is the art you can’t live without? How does art make your every day better?

Join CreativePEI and other arts and culture organizations across PEI to celebrate World Art Day.

On April 15, folks are encouraged to take to their social media accounts and share a few words about an artwork or arts-related experience that has meaning for them that they’d like others to know about. Tag it #worldartdaypei so it can be easily discovered. Folks are also invited to join the CreativePEI Artmobile team in the Maker Space at the Charlottetown Library from 5–7 pm for an upsized night of creating in community.

By sharing the value the arts bring into our lives, organizers hope to raise awareness of the contribution made by local artists and creative sector workers, especially when there are significant reductions in public support for the arts in neighbouring provinces.

The theme for World Art Day 2026 is “A Garden of Expression: Cultivating Community Through Art.” Find out more at creativepei.ca/worldartday.
