A Global Nation vs. Nation
Multidisciplinary Arts Competitions
International ArtsGames® Committee (IAC)
The International ArtsGames Committee ( IAC) is composed of Olympians and Artists. Its mission is to demonstrate the excellence that exists in all cultures.
The IAC has four major pillars: the International ArtsGames Committee (IAC) (the governing body), the International ArtsGames Federations (IAFs) (the feeder system), the ArtsGames Movement (global engagement) and the ArtsGames (the global, groundbreaking nation-versus-nation competition.)
The IAC is building a global infrastructure for world-class artists who use their craft for the betterment of humanity.
Benjamin Swatez brings his art to a Syrian Refugee Camp.
In order to achieve this, it is modeling the Olympic and International Sports Federations model. This model consists of feeder competitions to select the best competitors in the world to represent their respective countries at the ArtsGames.
This site follows the journey of the ArtsGames Movement. Join our efforts as we build the world’s most ambitious arts initiative. It is the global infrastructure that is needed to showcase the excellence in all cultures.
In the ArtsGames’ nation-vs.-nation competition, no one loses!
Introduction
The IAC’s Global Arts Infrastructure
The International ArtsGames Committee (IAC) has created a global infrastructure for world-class artists, similar to the infrastructure enjoyed by high-performance athletes.
Competitors are to be regulated through their respective International ArtsGames Federation (IAF). Each IAF is part of a feeder system for the multidisciplinary ArtsGames competitions.

Thirty federations are being
developed, one International
ArtsGames Federation for
each discipline.

Implementation
Strategic Plan
The IAC has developed a strategic plan to implement the ArtsGames competition. International ArtsGames Federations stage World Championships every two years. These will be used as qualifying rounds for artists to represent their nations at the ArtsGames competition.
International ArtsGames Federation (IAF)
Competitors at the ArtsGames are regulated through specific IAFs, which serve as feeder systems to the ArtsGames competitions. After the inaugural ArtsGames, the ArtsGames competitions will occur every four years.
Accepting Members
The IAC will be accepting members for various levels of participation through a formal process dealing with licensing, employment, volunteer programs and a myriad of other exciting affiliations.
It’s for the Betterment of Humanity.
Join us in building, celebrating and promoting the importance of supporting artists who represent their nations in a demonstration of the excellence that exists in their cultures.

The Strategy
Creating a Global Network for the Arts
The IAC’s strategic plan aims to unite artists –
through competitions, conferences and media
– to promote and celebrate artistic excellence
from around the world.
Developing IAFs
Thirty IAFs are being established, one for each
of the 30 disciplines of artistic competitions. These
disciplines are grouped within five art forms: Music, Dance, Literature, Visual Arts and Media Arts.
Launching in 2026
International ArtsGames Federations are
currently being developed, with the final
international federation licenses being
issued by 2026.
Lending a Hand by supporting the experts
Existing artistic organizations need all of the support they can get. That is the purpose of the National ArtsGames Federations (NAFs). NAFs are charged
with finding funding solutions for longstanding
artistic organizations.
