Background:
Art has always been a powerful medium for expression and exploration of emotions. It is for this reason that World Art Day is celebrated every year on 15th April to promote art and culture. Also, on this day, work is done to raise awareness about various arts among the general public.
For the first time, World Art Day was celebrated on 15 April 2012. In 2015, the day was officially celebrated in Los Angeles. World Art Day is a day dedicated by UNESCO which was announced in 2019 at the 40th session of the General Assembly of UNESCO.

Why April15?
15 April 1452 is the birth anniversary of the great Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was a great Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, skilled mechanic, engineer and scientist. He was respected all over the world for his mastery of art and today is his birth anniversary as World Art Day is being celebrated.
A proud moment has been added to Nepal’s diplomatic history. With Nepal’s special initiative, the United Nations General Assembly has officially declared April 15 as International Wellness Day, to be celebrated every year across the world. This is a matter of great pride for Nepal and the entire South Asian region.
“Wellness” does not just mean being free from disease. It means being physically healthy, mentally peaceful, and socially balanced. Nepal’s long-practiced traditions—like meditation, yoga, Ayurveda, natural healing, and eco-friendly living—are now being recognized globally.
Interestingly, the first International Wellness Day falls on Nepali New Year 2083 (Baisakh 2), making it even more meaningful and special.
This initiative will not only promote a healthy lifestyle but also help introduce Nepal’s rich biodiversity and herbal resources to the world. It is expected to open new opportunities for health tourism and economic growth.
Wishing everyone a happy International Wellness Day!
