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.
