ArtsLink is an international programme supporting residences and collaborative projects in cooperation with USA organizations and artists. It is ran by CEC Artslink Inc. from New York and facilitated by national coordinators in the countries of interest. In Slovenia the ArtsLink Awards programme is coordinated by SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts.

Types of awards

ArtsLink kicked off in 1992, with support from the Soros Foundation, the National Endowment of the Arts and the Trust for Mutual Understanding. CEC ArtsLink broadened the scope from the former Soviet countries to the 30 countries of Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Since its inception, ArtsLink has made over $4 million in funding available to artists, arts managers and arts organizations through ArtsLink Residencies, Independent Projects awards and ArtsLink Projects awards.

Participants from Slovenia

Since 1993 CEC Artslink has facilitated residences and collaborative projects in co-operation between Slovene and US organisations and artists. Every year at least one Slovene artist or cultural manager participates in the five-week residency in the USA or works on a collaborative project.

an international arts service organisation founded in 1962 to enable citizens of the United States and the Soviet Union to share ideas and build mutual trust. Today CEC Artslink serves to create and sustain constructive, mutually-beneficial relationships between the USA and the 27 countries of Central Europe, Russia and Eurasia, with supporting programmes and projects that promote dialogue among arts professionals in all disciplines. Over the past 13 years Artslink has made over three million dollars in funding available to US artists and arts organisations working with colleagues in the region. Funding is provided through Artslink Projects, Artslink Residencies and Independent Projects. Other CEC Artslink programmes include VisArt: Contemporary Issues in the Arts, the Jubilee Fellowships and the Open World Exchanges for Russian cultural leaders. CEC Artslink organises lectures at its premises, and since 2004, in co-operation with the Consulate General of Slovenia in New York, several Slovene artists, theoreticians, gallerists and cultural managers have been presented there.
