Inspire Your Heart with Art Day

Next Saturday, 31 January 2026

January 31 is Inspire Your Heart With Art Day, and it teaches us that art reaches a place where words fall short. 

Be it a painting, song, or simple pencil sketch, it can bring joy, heal our inner wounds, and make you smile while inspiring several hearts at the same time. 

Inspire Your Heart Day celebrates art in all forms and the power it has to bring more meaning into our daily lives. 

History of Inspire Your Heart With Art Day

In 2013, Demian Dressler, the author and artist, founded Inspire Your Heart With Art Day with the goal to make people realize art is for everyone and everywhere.  

We need creativity, in any form, in our everyday life, and this day was created to encourage everyone to reconnect with art as a form of self-expression and joy. 

Celebrate Art Day The Proper Way

When it comes to art, there is no right or wrong, and what better way to celebrate it than indulging in art of your own? 

Here are some things you can do:
