The International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1997, dedicated to fostering children's creativity and empathy through global art programs, festivals, and education. As the national arts organization for American children and the global arts organization for children worldwide, ICAF cultivates creativity and mutual empathy as critical building blocks for a prosperous and peaceful future. Their flagship programs include the Arts Olympiad, the world's largest school art program, and the World Children's Festival, held every four years on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. ICAF also publishes ChildArt magazine and organizes youth panels at major conferences, giving voice to children like no other.
