Every four years, ICAF produces the World Children’s Festival as the “Olympics” of children’s imagination at the National Mall across the U.S. Capitol. Since 1998, ICAF has published the ChildArt quarterly free of commercial advertisements for children’s creative and empathic development. ICAF’s Healing Art Programs revive faith in nature of child victims of natural disasters. ICAF’s Peace through Art Programs restore trust in humanity of children living in conflict zones. To give voice to children and promote their imagination, ICAF organizes children’s panels at major conferences and interactive exhibitions that kindle professionals’ “inner child.” For children’s holistic development, ICAF has pioneered STEAMS education to integrate Art (creative activities) and Sport (physical activities) with the STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Impact Over the past twenty-five years, ICAF has changed the world for children. More than five million schoolchildren have participated in and benefited from ICAF’s free-of-charge programs. An estimated two million students, parents, and teachers have attended ICAF festivals, exhibitions, and conferences in over twenty major cities worldwide. The readership of ChildArt quarterly has grown to an estimated 220,000. Through ICAF, children gain a sense of self-worth and confidence in themselves as creators.

Funding The National Endowment of the Art, the D.C.

Since none of the largest private foundations support ICAF, creative-empathic individuals provide the lion’s share of funding.

Clowns Without Borders defends the right to play. For 25 years, we've inspired resilience through laughter with people in refugee camps, conflict zones, and crises. As clowns, we SEE the people we’re performing for. In fact, we're performing WITH them! Together with audience members, we twist our bodies, we make funny faces, we juggle ridiculous items, and above all, we laugh. Our clowns aren’t solving geopolitics, preventing global conflict, or taking away trauma. We’re simply showing up — and showing people that they matter enough to laugh, play, and have an extraordinary day.
