By Cherranda Smith Apr 15, 2021 World Art Day was started in 1998 as a way to encourage others to express creativity and celebrate the arts. It was founded by the group, Artists for A Better World International and coincides with the birthday of world-renowned artist Leonardo Da Vinci.  On this day, the Black Information Network is spotlighting Black artists who have captured Black life, added to our cultural storehouses, and beautified our communities, digitally and in real life.  The lasting impact of Black people on the arts is immeasurable. Blending traditions, current events, history, shared lived experience, Black artists weave together our uniqueness, uniting it on the canvas, film, clay, print, and a host of other media.
