RCINY is part of the 18-strong network of similar organizations scattered on four continents that constitute the backbone of Romania’s efforts to promote culture and arts throughout the world.
Endowed with a versatile institutional identity, RCINY is at once a curator, promoter, producer of artistic and cultural events, resource center and learning hub, which act in synergy to showcase the diversity and vibrancy of Romanian artistic, cultural and academic scene and to galvanize the Romanian-American cultural relations at all levels.
The Institute also acts as the principal artistic agency for Romanian artists in the United States and beyond. A networking specialist, RCINY works to establish thriving, ever-expanding partnerships among Romanian and American cultural organizations, public or independent.
While based in New York City, the Institute aspires to a Pan-American presence as our projects cover the whole of the United States and major cultural centres in Canada. The main target-audience is American and international, although the Romanian diasporas in North America also form an important focus of our programming.
RCINY is placed under the common heading of the Romanian Cultural Institute (the Bucharest HQ) and Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
