CEC ARTSLINK PROMOTES INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING THROUGH COLLABORATIVE, INNOVATIVE ARTS PROJECTS FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT. WE SUPPORT AND PRODUCE PROGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGE THE EXCHANGE OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTISTS AND CULTURAL MANAGERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. AS AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, WE BELIEVE THAT THE ARTS ARE A SOCIETY'S MOST DELIBERATE AND COMPLEX MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND THAT THE WORK OF ARTISTS AND ARTS ADMINISTRATORS CAN HELP NATIONS OVERCOME LONG HISTORIES OF RECIPROCAL DISTRUST, INSULARITY AND CONFLICT.OUR ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED IN 1962 TO ENABLE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT THEIR GOVERNMENTS WOULD NOT DO - OPEN DOORS, SHARE IDEAS AND BUILD MUTUAL TRUST. OUR LASTING PARTNERSHIPS ABROAD ENABLE US TO BUILD AND BROADEN OUR INTERNATIONAL REACH, AS TODAY'S TRANSFORMED AND COMPLEX WORLD MAKES CITIZEN DIPLOMACY MORE URGENTLY NECESSARY THAN EVER.
