About World Collage Day

World Collage Day is an annual, international celebration of collage on the Second Saturday of May. 

Initiated by Kolaj Magazine in 2018, we invited artists and art venues to hold events on that day to celebrate collage. World Collage Day is about artists connecting across borders against a global context of entrenchment and separation. 

And the day is about an art medium that excels at bringing different things together to create new forms and new ways of thinking. 

Ric Kasini Kadour, the editor of Kolaj Magazine, writes, “We created World Collage Day because we wanted to honour this community of artists and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation, mutual support, and creativity can look like.”
