International Child Art Foundation

International Child Art Foundation ICAF has served American children since 1997 as their national arts organization.

ICAF seeds their imagination, cultivates creativity, and grows mutual empathy among them (for “a more perfect union”) and with their peers worldwide (for a peaceful future). Working with schools and students since 1997, ICAF has developed an innovative school art program (the Arts Olympiad) for students’ identity development as artist-athletes with creative minds and healthy bodies (mens sana in c

orpore sano). The Arts Olympiad's structured lesson plans awaken the dormant "inner artist" or slumbering "inner athlete" step-by-step. As the number of artist-athletes increases, the school becomes more of a creative and healthy community. ICAF produces the World Children's Festival at The National Mall every four years as the "Olympics" of children's imagination. ICAF published ChildArt quarterly for young readers' creative and empathic development and to enhance their global competencies.

Celebrating a little late, but the message still stands strong 💙⚽
Observed each year on April 6, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace was established by the UN in 2013 to recognize the power of sport to drive social change, promote inclusion, and inspire peace around the world.
At ICAF, we see this impact firsthand as creativity, play, and movement empower children to express themselves, build empathy, and connect across cultures. 🌍✨
