CEC ArtsLink is a New York City-based nonprofit that promotes cross-border cultural mobility and collaboration by supporting artists and arts leaders in engaging communities through dialogue and collaborative projects. The organization emphasizes inclusivity, independent expression, human rights, and civil-society development, and it connects people through in-person encounters, public events, transnational networks, and online platforms. Founded in 1962, the group traces its roots to efforts for U.S.–Soviet citizen exchanges during the Cold War, viewing art as a means to ease distrust and foster shared understanding. Its work targets artists, cultural professionals, and communities seeking dialogic experiences that address conflict and prejudice at local, national, and global levels. In the nonprofit sector, it positions itself as a facilitator of civil-society development through cultural engagement. A recent development includes the launch of a Jetpack app 26.4 in October 2025, expanding its digital tools to support users.
