We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve received a Manhattan Arts Grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. The grant will help fund the next edition of the New York Kurdish Film Festival.
Many thanks to the LMCC, which funds arts and community projects from Inwood to the Battery!
The New York Kurdish Cultural Center, established in 2017, seeks to nurture and showcase Kurdish contributions to the visual and performing arts, cinema, and literature. By creating venues for exhibitions and performances in the New York area, it further aims to foster community among Kurds and to build bridges with non-Kurdish communities.
The NYKCC creates spaces where Kurds and friends of Kurds may interact in safety. We do not tolerate discriminatory behavior based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age.
The New York Kurdish Cultural Center, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit registered in New York State.
