美中文化协会

Founded in 2000 as the Committee of 100 Cultural Institute, the US-China Cultural Institute inaugurated its new status in 2007 as an independent nonprofit 501 (c) organization with its own officers and directors. It will continue its association with the Committee of 100 as its cultural associate to build on the recognition and equity established in both China and the U.S. by the former Committee of 100 Cultural Institute.

The mission of the new organization remains to create bridges of understanding through the arts and education, believing that these are important means to bring the necessary human understanding between China and the West for peaceful world relations.

Under its new structure, the new organization will build on past achievements and relationships, continuing internationally recognized cultural exchange programs with prominent artists from around the world to


		set up a “bridge” of understanding between China and the West
		provide opportunity for people of Chinese heritage to achieve their highest potential


		Serve as a catalyst for new relationships between major arts and education organizations in the U.S. and China and new concepts in cultural exchange which have "long-term" potential

		Leverage other organizations for implementation and financing
		Not a funding organization, but provides seed money and bi-cultural expertise to help start-up cultural and educational programs and relationships
