Who We Are
International Painters Appreciation Day began as a celebration—but it’s become something much more. Today, we’re a growing network of professional painters united by pride in our craft, respect for the trade and a commitment to supporting each other.
We’re here to recognize painters for the work they do and for the lasting impact they have on homes, businesses and communities. Through charitable outreach, career development, and a strong network of peers, we’re building a better future for painters everywhere.
Our Mission
We’re here to make life better for painters — and the communities they serve.
Support the Trade: We offer career tools like apprenticeships, training programs and emergency assistance, all to help professional painters grow and succeed. We also advocate for the trade, pushing for better standards and more respect for the work we do.
Serve the Community: Our members give back by donating their time and talent to revitalize public spaces, create community murals, and lead art workshops for under-resourced schools and youth programs.
“The International Painters Appreciation Day Organization does more than celebrate painters — they empower them. By supporting their craft, their families, and their futures, this organization ensures painters get the recognition and resources they deserve.”
