About this Organization:
Incorporated Sept. 17, 2002 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, TransCultural Exchange’s mission is to foster a greater understanding of world cultures. Since its grassroots inception in 1989, TransCultural Exchange has worked directly with hundreds of artists, arts organizations, foundations, galleries, museums and cultural centers in 60+ countries to produce over 350+ exhibitions. The organization is, perhaps, best known, though, for its biennale Conferences on International Opportunities in the Arts. Bringing to Boston over 100 speakers from more than 30 countries, their aim is to let artists know about the wealth of opportunities where they can participate, interact and work with their international peers. The organization's over 30 year history of service has earned TransCultural Exchange awards from institutions such as the International Art Critics Association and support from the National Endowment for the Arts, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Boston Cultural Council, Asian Cultural Council, Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, Boston Foundation, Swedish Embassy, numerous consulates and the Netherland-American Foundation, among others.
