| book description |

Striking proof that a great artist is born every day, this perpetual calendar features 365 artists, from the oldest known creators to today’s contemporary stars. Each entry showcases a vibrant work of art, key biographical details and a brief, informative text explaining what makes that artist worth celebrating.

Spanning continents, cultures, and centuries, this collection highlights painters, sculptors, photographers, and multimedia artists from every corner of the globe. The book honors voices often left out of traditional art histories, showcasing women, artists of color, and contemporary visionaries. Every page offers a chance to engage with a different creative legacy — from ancient China and Renaissance Italy to modern-day America and Japan — making each day an invitation to explore the world’s vast artistic diversity. Generous blank space invites personalization — perfect for jotting down other birthdays, sketching ideas, or adding notes. Whether displayed on a desk, slipped into a bag, or gifted to an art enthusiast, An Artist a Dayblends inspiration with utility. Art, history, and a touch of festivity come together in this joyful book, keeping the spirit of creativity alive all year long.
