announced the third SMArt
(Sustainable Mountain Art) artist-
in-residence program targeting
professional photographers and
media artists in 2022.
The SMArt program was es­

issues in mountain regions
among decision-makers and pro­
moting intercultural exchange
and dialogue between artists and
audiences around the challenges
of mountain regions.
This year selected Byamba

dence to Poschiavo, an alpine
region of Switzerland, from June-
September, 2022. Byamba is a
talented Mongolian photographer
whose diverse and powerful work

nature and people. During the
resi­
dence program, he focused
on sustainable agriculture in
the mountains. His artwork was
exposed in Punto Rosso, Poschia­
vo, in August-September in Swit­
zerland. In November, Byamba

Since 2008, the Arts
Council of Mongolia (ACM),
along with the generous
support of ACM-US, has
successfully implemented
a Fellowship Program
for empowering emerging
cultural leaders.
The program is designed
to enhance leadership, mana­
gement, and marketing skills,
and deepen understanding of
cultural policy, arts advocacy,
and other related issues. Thus
far, ACM has completed four­
teen phases of the Fellowship
Program with over three hun­
dred arts and cultural ma­
na­
gers and artists who are cur­
rently working in the field of
visual art, performing art, lite­
rature, cultural heritage sites,
media, press, and arts admi­
nistration.
This week marked the
launch of the 15th phase of the
ACM Fellowship Prog­
ram.
For the occasion of the 15th
year of the fellowship prog­
ram, ACM has established
the Fellowship alumni com­
mittee group of graduate par­
ticipants.
The committee group
will work on inspiring and
enga­
ging graduate alum­
ni
and expanding their part­
ner­
ship and networking by the
increasing role of artists and
art managers to contribute to
the sustainable development
of the arts and culture sector
and to build a better society.
This year ACM selected
20 arts managers and artists
from different art fields and
invited local and international
experts to conduct 22 full-day
and half-day training ses­
sions
on arts management, leader­
ship, fundraising, strategic
thin­
king, leadership-sensitive
management, intellectual pro­
perty, creative industry, and
arts marketing and commu­
ni­
cation.
Selected ACM Fellows
will be granted $1000 to im­
plement a joint community
service project. The projects
will provide arts access and
arts education for youth and
the wider community through
online activities. All the
ACM Fellow projects will be
promoted and shared across
social media channels.
ACM would like to give a
special thank you to Mr.Wal­
ter Jenkins and Mr.Dwight
Gee, ACM-US for supporting
the Fellows Program and pro­
viding the opportunity for
many Mongolian arts and
culture leaders to grow and
participate in this prog­
ram.
We would like to espe­
cially
acknowledge Mr. Wal­
ter
Jenkins for being an exem­
plary program leader.
