The Sparks
Each “Spark” represents
one of five art forms
Music, dance, literature, visual arts and media arts: Each of these art forms ignites passion, reflection and visceral connections in us all.
The cauldron represents the common source of our sustenance, found in every culture since the beginning of time.
When ignited it sparks our imagination and fuels our curiousity, illustrating the fire of creativity that burns inside of all. Our penchant to applaud those who reach the pinnacle of performance in these art forms is a near universal response.
Their excellence moves us at a visceral level, bringing us one step closer to learning more about what we have in common; the key to bridging cultural divides.
Each International ArtsGames Federation (IAF) is charged with igniting these flames in its respective discipline in every country in the world.
