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. In 2017, ACM
celebrated its 15th anniversary
under the slogan ‘Accountable,
Creative and Multi-stakeholder
Year’, and initiated a campaign
that aimed to promote the
accomplishments, contributions,
impacts, investments, partnerships
and values that have been created

In the past few years of
operations, ACM established a
strong and visible infrastructure,
governance, human resources and
achieved significant program and
fundraising success with support
of local and international partners
on national and international
level in increased program areas.

competitiveness of arts and culture
in Mongolia by fostering artistic
excellence, new media, enhancing
international collaboration, and

such as Australia, the United
States, Afghanistan, Iran, Belgium,
Germany, Denmark, Canada, and
Great Britain, Norway, South
Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Poland,

through community outreach
programs, ACM sustainably
increases and builds public
awareness of importance of value
of arts and culture for individuals
and the development of Mongolian
society, as well focusing on
promoting cultural heritage to
the general public, transmitting
intangible cultural heritage and
supporting preservation of heritage
sites.
On April 27, the “Accountable
Creative Multi-Stakeholder Year”

which consisted of “The Value of
Arts” panel discussion about art’s
intrinsic value, as well as its wider
impact on economy, wellbeing,
society and education; a new
contemporary dance “Unknown”
premiere; “Re-imagine Mongolia”

and showcased “ACM” moments
of art creation using a live art
presentation with the support and
partnership of ‘Unread’ and Arig
Bank.
