Alumni of U.S. Government-sponsored programs are especially encouraged to use the American Center to share their U.S. experiences and develop the projects they implement upon their return to Russia. Proposed programs should be non-commercial, non-profit and non-partisan. All events in the American Center must be free-of-charge for all attendees.

"Hosting conversations between Russian and American artists and audiences through the AMC's programs has been an important reminder of our shared humanity. I often find myself profoundly moved, delighted, and humbled by the power of connecting."
