Happy Fourth Birthday ICAN!
Join in on the fun as the International Children’s Arts Network (ICAN) celebrates its 4th birthday on April 15th, 2023!
In 2019, All Classical Portland did the unthinkable: launching a brand new station from scratch, aimed at entertaining and educating children and their families. This month, ICAN Radio celebrates 35,040 hours of inspiring music and programming, 2,102,400 minutes of joyful expression, countless dance breaks, and many moments of meaningful reflection.
ICAN is a 24-hour network offering enriching, educational, and commercial-free arts radio, designed for children and the adults who care for them. ICAN shares music, poetry, stories, dance breaks, and more creative content from around the world, and we hope YOU will share in the celebration as the network celebrates its fourth anniversary!
