ABOUT CEC ARTSLINK

Our Mission

CEC ARTSLINK is an international arts organization. Our programs encourage and support exchange of artists and cultural managers between the United States and Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. We believe that the arts are a society’s most deliberate and complex means of communication, and that artists and arts administrators can help nations overcome long histories of reciprocal distrust, insularity and conflict.

With solid expertise and lasting partnerships in 30 countries, CEC ArtsLink promotes communication and understanding through collaborative, innovative projects for mutual benefit. CEC was founded in 1962 to enable citizens of the United States and the Soviet Union to accomplish what their governments could not – opening doors, sharing ideas and building mutual trust. In today’s transformed and complex world, citizen diplomacy is still urgently needed.

ABOUT KEMEROVO

Kemerovo Region is located in the southern part of western Siberia, about 3,500 km from Moscow (four hours by air). Over 3 million people live here, mostly in large cities. In fact, Kemerovo Region is a very urbanized part of Russia, with about 87% of the population residing in cities. Kemerovo Region is also known as Kuzbass - from "Kuznetsk basin" - the name of the largest coal deposit on Earth, which is located here.

Kemerovo region is known for industries such as mining, metallurgy, chemicals, and machining. In the Soviet era, Kemerovo region was heavily industrialized, which meant pollution. That's gotten a lot better now, mainly because of cutbacks in production since the collapse of the Soviet economy.

The two really big cities in Kemerovo region are Kemerovo (city) and Novokuznetsk. Almost half of the population lives in these two cities of similar size. There are also smaller cities such as Anzhero-Sudzhensk, Leninsk-Kuznetskiy, Prokopievsk, Kiselyovsk, Mezhdurechensk, among others.
