ICAP Mission

Human history has been marked by war and subjugation, hostility and carnage. Although humankind has known periods of peace, the potential for war has run like an undercurrent of human civilization. How can artistic endeavors tame the fire of hatred and impulse to use violence?

ICAP's determination is to illuminate the wisdom and courage of great individuals so that others can learn the lessons for creating a culture of peace.
