17th Annual Canada International Children’s Art Festival

CICAF’s mission is to promote and develop children’s artistic potential, their appreciation for art and to encourage all children’s artistic expression in a global manner. Our goal is to create a platform for all children to showcase their artistic talents and to interact with other young artists through art while becoming more aware of environmental issues such as climate change.

The theme of this year’s Festival is “Waterside”. We want to educate children and make them more aware of our concerning state of environment. By expressing this theme through art, they will become more engaged with the theme as they express their love for life and to take responsibility of our future.
