~History
Art’s
Birthday originated in 1963 when French surreal artist Robert Filliou
declared that art didn’t exist until a million years ago when someone
dropped a dry sponge into a pail of water. Choosing his own birthday of
Jan. 17 to celebrate the event, Filliou proposed a public holiday, which
has since been adopted by arts organizations and collectives in more
than 20 nations worldwide.

~BEAMS History
Edmonton
first held such an event in 2008, presented by the Film and Video Arts
Society at the now-defunct ARTery. The Edmonton Arts Council staged
Art’s Birthday at Scona Pool the following year. Since 2010, BEAMS has
facilitated the event annually.
