In terms of numbers, more than five million children have befitted from the ICAF, producing original works under the Arts Olympiad and other ICAF programs. An estimated 2,500,000 individuals have participated in or attended ICAFs festivals and exhibitions that have taken place in over a dozen major cities worldwide. This number includes the audiences who have attended ICAF’s special events such as conferences and symposia. Nearly one million children, parents, teachers and librarians comprise the total readership since 1998 of ICAF’s ChildArt magazine, published on a quarterly basis. On a daily basis, a few thousand children worldwide learn about the ICAF from their peers or online, gaining confidence in themselves as creators (not merely pupils or consumers, recognizing that their imagination is seedbed for discovery and innovation, and telling themselves that their art is the most honest and purest form of human creative expression.
