“We are glad that after three years of hard work we finally have our own space,” says Aza Sydykov, co-founder and president of the Kyrgyz American Foundation. — We decided to call our new home the Eurasian Cultural Center because we want immigrants from all over the Eurasian region to have a home in New York and that they, like other communities, have opportunities to preserve and enhance their cultural heritage "

The Eurasian Cultural Center will offer unique cultural and educational programs in New York, as well as serve as a home for the entire Eurasian-American diaspora.

The center will gather members of the New York Eurasian community for educational and cultural events, including concerts, music, dance and language classes, workshops, film screenings, art exhibitions, and lectures.
