Draft:Czech Center New York

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Two cites of the same radio station plus one interview does not add up to notability per WP:ORG. (I also have my doubts whether this has standalone notability or should remain a redir to the main Czech Centres article, but I guess we'll find out in due course.)

The Czech Center New York (in Czech České centrum New York) is Czech Republic’s cultural institution in New York. Its goal is to introduce Czech culture to the American public[1] and to help Czech artists succeed in the USA[2]. It is located in Manhattan in the Bohemian National Hall on 321 E 73 Street. The current director is Tereza Porybná.

Czech Center New York is part of a global network of Czech Centres. The center hosts exhibitions of art and technology, concerts, theatrical performances, screenings, talks, balls, and Czech language lessons. It prepares both new and regular programming including Echoes of Ji.hlava and European Literature Night.

The center also collaborates with other institutions that are part of the European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) based in New York, such as Goethe-Institut, New York and Instituto Cervantes, New York. It further collaborates with cultural and diplomatic organizations including major American museums and concert venues like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Carnegie Hall and Metropolitan Opera.[3]

The Center also has its own gallery and library which are open to the public on a regular basis.
