Art's Birthday is an annual event first proposed in 1963 by French  
artist Robert Filliou.

He suggested that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art. But one day,  
on the 17th of January to be precise, Art was born. According to  
Filliou, it happened when someone dropped a dry sponge into a bucket  
of water. Modest beginnings, but look at us now.

Filliou proposed a public holiday to celebrate the presence of art in  
our lives. In recent years, the idea has been taken up by a loose  
network of artists and friends around the world. Each year the  
Eternal Network evolves to include new partners - working with the  
ideas of exchange and telecommunications-art.
