With its architectural landmark building in Midtown Manhattan, the Austrian Cultural Forum New York is dedicated to innovative programming, showcasing Austrian contemporary art, music, literature, performance and academic thought in New York and throughout the United States. In addition to presenting exhibitions in its multi-level gallery space and housing around 13,000 volumes of Austriaca in its library named in honor of the late Vienna-born American writer and intellectual Frederic Morton, it hosts over 100 free events per year in its auditorium and supports at least as many projects at partner institutions across the nation.
The ACFNY is a part of the cultural network of the Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Austria, and also contributes to EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture) Cluster New York, a network of around 40 cultural missions from the European Union working in partnership to strengthen the transatlantic dialogue and cultural cooperation and showcase European values and creativity in New York.
