Every January 19th, artists, creators, and dreamers observe Artist as Outlaw Day — a day to honor those who push boundaries, question norms, and use their art as a means of disruption, transformation, and truth-telling. The notion of the “artist outlaw” is not about lawlessness, but about courage: the willingness to go where art hasn’t gone before, to speak even when silence is easier, and to challenge what others accept.

On January 10th, the world celebrates Peculiar People Day — a day dedicated to the dreamers, the inventors, the artists, and the wonderfully unique individuals who dare to see the world differently.

The holiday season is filled with lists, shopping, and wrapping — but sometimes, the most meaningful gifts aren’t found in stores. On December 3rd, we celebrate National Make a Gift Day, a reminder to slow down, create from the heart, and give something made by hand and full of meaning.

Each year on October 22nd, we celebrate National Color Day — a day dedicated to the beauty, power, and emotion that color brings into our world. Color influences how we feel, what inspires us, and even how we connect to one another. For artists, makers, and dreamers, color is more than just a visual experience — it’s a language of expression.
