Arts Council of Mongolia
(ACM) is an arts and
culture NGO, established by
Mongolian arts, civic, and
business leaders in 2002 with
the support of the Mongolian
Foundation for an Open
Society (Soros Foundation).
Its mission is to support the
sustainable development of
Mongolian arts and culture
and the preservation of
cultural heritage. From
March to December 2022, the
ACM will celebrate its 20th
anniversary with a series of
program launches and events
which aim to commemorate
20 Years of Building Success
