- Join the celebration of Art’s Birthday with Open Space, MediaNet and the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria. 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.
