The International ArtsGames Committee licenses IAPF to unite percussionists worldwide. We bring together players from every cultural tradition to compete in the International ArtsGames.
IAPF trains percussionists in underserved communities. We turn rhythm into opportunity through education, competition, and global connection.
From youth in under-served communities to emerging cultural leaders, we empower individuals through rhythm-based education, global exchange, and real opportunity.
Our impact is rooted in partnership, cultural pride, and the belief that the arts belong to everyone.
The objectives of the International ArtsGames Percussion Federation (IAPF) with respect to the ArtsGames drumming competitions are:
- To develop, administer and regulate the rules governing the online Percussion competitions for the ArtsGames.
- To generate and administer an online Percussion competition from across the cultural clusters of the world.
- To prepare and present winners of the online competition in the different categories for the live auditions as well as for the maiden edition of the ArtsGames to be hosted in 2028
- To develop comprehensive Programs for future competitions leading to World Championships, the Annual NAF Conventions, and other initiatives that should be planned throughout the year
