International Artist’s Day is the perfect reason to get your creative juices flowing with these art sets
If you haven’t heart of International Artist’s Day, here’s a little background: beginning in 2004, IAD was created to celebrate the contributions made to society by artists around the world. It also just so happens to be the birthday of Pablo Picasso, who was born October 25, 1881.
We can’t think of a better day to really lean into your artistic side. These art sets are perfect for really flexing those creative muscles. Whether you’re a painter, sculptor, or a scientist (you read that right!), these art sets will get everyone in the family inspired!
