Most of all, ArtsLink Assembly seeks to inspire us all to renewed energy and action. Join us at the ArtsLink Assembly 2019 in New York City!

ArtsLink Assembly 2019 is organized by CEC ArtsLink in association with Baruch Performing Arts Center and supported by the Trust for Mutual Understanding; the Kirby Family Foundation; an anonymous funder; CEC ArtsLink’s Trustees and individual donors. Individual presentations supported by Wildlife Conservation Fund; Soros Arts Fellowships; Tamizdat; and Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw, Poland.

CEC ArtsLink, founded in 1962, promotes international dialogue and understanding through innovative arts projects. The core programs – ArtsLink Fellowships, Art Prospect, and Back Apartment Residency – facilitate collaboration among leading artists, arts managers, curators, and communities in the U.S. and 37 countries. CEC ArtsLink believes that the arts are the most deliberate and profound means of communication that can help overcome long histories of distrust, insularity and conflict, and contribute to building more open and civil societies.
