National Arts & Humanities Month

National Arts & Humanities Month was established in 1993 and is celebrated every October[1] in the United States. It was initiated to encourage Americans to explore new facets of the arts and humanities in their lives, and to begin a lifelong habit of participation in the arts and humanities. It has become the nation's largest collective annual celebration of the arts and humanities.
