It’s Art’s Birthday today (January 17th)! Yeah, art as in artwork. Bet you didn’t know it had a birthday, I certainly didn’t. Obviously, if you’re creatively inclined, then spending your day with the physical artfrom is a fantastic way to honor the day. But, if you’re like me and can only draw stick figures with only minor complications, then playing 3 cozy art games might be a better way to relax.

There are 3 games on this list that take you through famous artworks, let you express your own creativity, and bring color back to the world. In terms of the promised free games, one of them is completely free to play and one of them is a full game with a free sandbox game separately.

We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.
