World Artisan Day began in 2021 to honor artisans worldwide for their unique contributions to uplifting communities and preserving humanity's cultures and traditions.
The event focuses on sharing the stories of individual artisans in remote corners of the world, with the overarching theme being "a better world for artisans is a better world for all." The inspiration for the event originates from a remote festival held high in the Andes to celebrate Peruvian Artisan Day. Roberto Milk, CEO of NOVICA and a descendant of Peruvian artisans was instrumental in its creation. The skilled creations of Artisan connect us to a cultural history that respects time, traditional skills, and creative expression.
In addition to celebrating artisans, World Artisan Day also celebrates those who shop with a purpose, helping artisans succeed, uplifting communities and preserving cultural traditions.
