Everyday Art: Short Essays On The Arts Not Fine (1882) is a collection of essays written by Lewis Foreman Day, a British designer, writer, and teacher. The book explores the importance of art in everyday life and how it can be integrated into common objects and activities.

He advocates for the integration of art into all aspects of life, from the design of public spaces to the decoration of personal spaces. The essays cover a range of topics, including the history of decorative arts, the role of art in education, and the relationship between art and industry. Written in a clear and accessible style, Everyday Art is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the ways in which art can enrich our daily lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
