2024 might be two years away, but street artists Kadri Lind and Sirla from the Estonian city of Tartu have already kicked off a series of international celebrations under the banner #Tartu2024 European Capital of Culture with their street art exhibition, “Hello Mister Police Officer”, now on display at the Neurotitan Gallery in Berlin-Mitte.

Digital artist TDRAW used an AI art generator app to create a post-apocalyptic work of art made up of nine canvases.

Digital artist TDRAW specializes in artificial intelligence-generated art that explores fantastical worlds. One of his recently completed pieces depicts a cityscape from science fiction in nine different parts which, when put together, reveals another work of art: a silhouette resembling the portrait of the Mona Lisa.

Tallinn's first ever legal graffiti wall has been opened, and may pave the way to more officially sanctioned walls in future, depending on how the project goes, ETV news show 'Aktuaalne kaamera' (AK) reported Friday.

The wall is located under the Pärnu mnt viaduct, south of the city center, and has so far attracted around a dozen artists. One, Emilia, told AK that:

I have spray-painted various colorful birds, or more specifically a toucan ... I really like birds and I've actually drawn several bird graffiti in Tallinn. This is one of that series.

A new initiative by NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) will send the first artwork to the surface of the moon. For the first-of-its-kind program, space industry organizations enlisted Dubai-based artist Sacha Jafri. The artwork titled ‘We Rise Together – with the Light of the Moon’ was revealed to the world on February 23 at the USA Pavillion at Expo 2020 Dubai.

The impact of digital technologies on the world of art has been nothing short of transformative. From online platforms that make it easier for amateur artists to connect with their audience, to virtual tours that allow us to experience historical works up close, technology has completely redefined how we interact with, understand, and appreciate art in all its forms.

Being an artist in today’s increasingly digital world is full of amazing opportunities. You can reach out to a wider audience around the world easily.

But at the same time, the internet and web 3 have also increased the risks of copyright infringements. It takes just a few buttons to copy an image from social media or a website and use it for commercial purposes. If you are not careful, someone else can copy months of your hard work and use it for their personal profits. 

The main purpose of this day is to boost recognition of diverse art forms and to highlight artists' contributions to environmental sustainability

World Art Day is observed across the globe on 15 April to promote the development and appreciation of art. The day was established by the International Association of Art (IAA), a UNESCO partner, to raise international awareness about fine arts.

Four hundred years ago, Flemish artists Jan Brueghel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens used the visual medium of oil paint to evoke an olfactory experience. You no longer have to use your imagination to engage with the smells highlighted in their painting The Sense of Smell. As Smithsonian reports, a new exhibition at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain, pairs the artwork with 10 real fragrances inspired by the scene.
