Scandinavia House
Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America — home to The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) — offers a wide range of programs presenting contemporary Nordic culture that encompasses the visual arts, music, and literature along with public policy, business, finance, and technology. These programs include art, design, and historical exhibitions as well as films, concerts, readings, lectures, symposia, language courses, and children's programming that illustrate and illuminate the modern-day vitality of the Nordic countries.
Incorporated in New York State in 1911, the ASF has been the leading cultural and educational link between the United States and Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. It is a publicly-supported, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and cultural understanding and has an extensive program of fellowships, grants, intern/trainee placements, publishing, membership offerings, and cultural activities.
