In Russia Artist’s Day was initiated by the Art of the Nations of the World, an international association founded by the Russian artist and philanthropist Nikolay Kornilov, who devoted his life to supporting the arts. In 1998, he founded the Art of the Nations of the World and the NIKOR gallery, and in 2007, his association founded the Artist’s Day. The first official celebration of Artist’s Day took place at the Mytishchi Art Gallery.
Artist’s Day is an informal professional observance celebrated on December 8. Although it is sometimes referred to as International Artist’s Day, the holiday is virtually unknown outside Russia.
