Visste du att Konsten fyller 1 000 058 år just i år?
Art's Birthday började firas den 17 januari 1963, då den franske konstnären Robert Filliou kungjorde att Konsten fyllde en miljon år - varken mer eller mindre. Något som borde högtidlighållas med en allmän helgdag! Sedan dess uppmärksammas dagen med fester, konserter, radiosändningar och performances på många platser över hela världen.


Did you know that 2021 is Art's 1 000 058th Birthday?
Art's Birthday is an annual event, first proposed in 1963 by French artist Robert Filliou. He suggested that until 1 000 000 years ago, there was no art. But then one day, on the 17th of January to be precise, Art was born! According to Filliou, a public holiday should be announced to honour the presence of Art in our lives. Every January 17th since 1963, Art's Birthday has generated parties, concerts, broadcasting and performances in many places around the globe.
