Who we are and our Mission

Arden2 is a nonprofit organization dedicated (since 1996) to expanding cross-cultural understanding and exposure to the arts through global exchanges and through encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation between artists, academia and activists. Arden2 is named after the Utopian art colony Arden established in the 19th Century by the Polish-born actress Helena Modjeska. We facilitate support and resources to individual artists and arts, heritage and creative organizations both in the United States as well as in Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, Czechia, Germany and Ukraine).
