Get To Know Our Virtual Fun Day Artists
Our 70th Anniversary Fun Day is going virtual and coming up quickly! On Saturday, October 17th, Breyer fans worldwide can join us for a day dedicated to the fun of painting and creativity through the lens of a Breyer model horse. Along with a series of fun activity videos that will go live on the 17th, we also have a talented group of model horse artisans who will be demonstrating three Fun Day activities via Instagram Live!
All you need to do to join in is log into your Instagram account and tap our profile icon when the LIVE icon is visible. That will bring you straight to the livestream - easy peasy!
Our livestreams will be held between 12:00 PM EDT (9:00 AM PDT / 5:00 PM GMT+1) and 3:00 PM EDT (12:00 PM PDT / 8:00 PM GMT+1) on our official Instagram account, @breyermodelhorsesofficial. Each of our three talented artists will be on hand to demonstrate their techniques and answer any questions fans and aspiring artists may have. If you aren't able to join us during the live event, don't worry - each activity will also have a pre-recorded video to watch at your own leisure. We can’t wait to share these activities with you!
To start our day off, our friends at My Froggy Stuff will have exclusive video content made especially for Breyer's Virtual Fun Day! Their first video will be available first thing in the morning on the 17th, then check back after our Instagram Live content has concluded for a bonus video with even more crafting fun!

Just like with BreyerFest, we're excited to host our very first Fun Day that anyone anywhere can participate in! You can get an official Fun Day kit from your participating local retailer, a list of which can be found here. But if you don't have a retailer nearby, don't fret - you can still participate! Pick up a Breyer Craft and Activity kit for fresh new models to paint, or use these activities to bring new life to a model that's already in your home!
See you on the 17th!
