International Child Art Foundation

Established in 1997 as the national arts organization for American children and the global arts organization for children worldwide, ICAF cultivates their creativity and grows mutual empathy as critical building blocks for a prosperous and peaceful future. We organize the world’s largest school art program, the Arts Olympiad, to empower students to overcome the well-documented "4th-grade slump" in childhood creativity. Every four years, we produce the World Children's Festival (the "Olympics" of children's imagination) at the National Mall across the U.S. Capitol to infuse creativity with mutual empathy. Our festival in June/July 2026 will also be a historic celebration of America's 250th Anniversary through the eyes of children > https://WorldChildrensFestival.org To have your or your child's artwork displayed in the festival please send in your art submission at: https://myfavoritesport.org/ To audition for the World Stage performances at the World Children's Festival please visit: https://worldchildrensfestival.org/performers To kindle your inner child, check out our magazine > https://icaf.org/AI&Art X/Twitter: @ICAF_org Instagram: @intlchildartfoundation Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ICAF.org/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/icaforg.bsky.social
