About IASPAW

International Association of Self-Proclaimed Artists and Writers

IASPAW was formed on Friday, June 22, 2007, on a clear, sunny day in McLean, Virginia. IASPAW is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that offers Creative Souls an opportunity to display their creative work on this website to foster global harmony through the arts.

Founded on the premise that many talented artists and writers go unrecognized and unappreciated for their creative contributions to society, and thus, need a venue for artistic exposure to promote their work.

MISSION

IASPAW provides the venue and its credential comes from within, from one's feeling of creative self-worth. With support from a communion of fellow artists and writers in the same circumstance. This association aspires to foster a renaissance of artistic expression through self-proclamation to promote global harmony through the arts.

IASPAW provides recognition to self-proclaimed creative souls through worldwide exposure of their talent, which is often unrecognized and unknown to the public.
