World Art Break Day Highlights

Every First Friday in September, the World Creates Together.

Over 37,200 art breaks across 530 locations — and growing every year.

Since 2011, communities around the world have gathered on one day to make art together. In libraries and town squares, on sidewalks and in schools – people who might never have met sat down side by side and created something. These are their stories.
