PREFACE

Dear all,

The Arts Council of Mongolia very happy to present you our annual report for 2010. Before we going into details of our accomplishment I would like to share with you ACM’s vision why art & culture are important to all of us. We believe, art & culture in all its aspects are absolutely fundamental to all societies. It is the means by which we can experience and appreciate the people, world and civilizations around us. It is also a way through which we can express ourselves and so communicate with each other. If creativity were to disappear then we think mankind would cease to move forward and would become very “grey” in its thinking. It is impossible appreciate and understand all forms of art - some are verbal, some visual, some musical. This is part of the wonderful diversity of the human race, and therefore the diversity found in the arts.

However, HOW important art is to our present society depends on how we educate the young. It is important to reflect the diversity of art, past as well as present, in the way we teach the next generation so that they too have the freedom and opportunity to explore it fully. The report will provide you full range ACM activities that we do in this important matter.

From the broader sense, ACM has continued to serve the cultural interests of Mongolia in ways that contribute to the sustainable development of arts and culture. Every year, we try to connect culture in the broader sense of economic, social and human development. We have implemented many excellent projects and activities, with a lot more to come in the future.

By December 31, 2010, ACM had raised 616,891 US$. During its eight years of operation, ACM has raised a cumulative total of 2, 6 million US$ to support the arts and culture sector.

In 2010, ACM’s activities focused on four program areas: Artist Development, Advocacy, Arts Education and Cultural Heritage. The Artist Development Program implemented 21 different training and exchange programs, giving development opportunities to

over 300 artists, arts managers, cultural workers and arts students. The program continued to assist artists by providing better access to information, training courses and international exchanges. The OSI/Soros Foundation’s Arts and Culture Network Program (ACNP) continued to play an important role in meeting the above mentioned objectives by providing grants totaling 27,519 US$ for public

arts events and the professional development of art community. The third Nomadic Arts Residency Program and Mongolia Festival in Jeju Island, South Korea with partnership and funding of Arts Council of Korea became an important highlight to foster intercultural dialogue between two countries. ACM presented more than 20 Mongolian artists at various international arts festivals & trainings in India, Canada, South Korea, Netherlands, China and the United Arab Emirates.

Within, the Advocacy Program ACM has sustained ‘Arts Network’, a monthly, 60-minute television program produced in conjunction with the Mongolian National Public TV Broadcasting (MNTVB). The program reaches 25 percent of the total MNTV audience. We were also very proud to produce the “East Meets West”, the first-ever international film festival & forum in Mongolia, which brought together Mongolian, Asian, European and American filmmakers representing 13 different countries.

An important achievement for the Arts Education Program was development and publication of visual arts teacher handbooks for formal secondary arts education with support of National Commission of UNESCO. Also, the program sustained six arts and heritage education projects involving 500 children. The first national Arts Education Forum, which served as a significant advocacy event to promote importance of arts education.

The important highlights of the Cultural Heritage Program in 2010 remained continuation of the ‘Amarbayasgalant Monastery Preservation’ project supported by the US Ambassador’s Cultural Heritage Fund and US Embassy in Mongolia. Thanks to the project the first-ever computer based architectural, engineer’s electrical wiring and security system drawings were created for the 28 temples of the monastery. In 2011, ACM entered to the second stage of the project aimed to change all relevant electrical wiring and security system of the monastery. The second stage of the project could not sustain without generous funding and support of the US Embassy and US Ambassador’s Cultural Heritage Fund.

UNESCO Awareness-Raising Workshop on the importance ofMovable Cultural Heritage in Mongolia

Project goal:To enhance capacity building of school teachers and museum staff on the importance of

Movable Cultural Heritage in Mongolia, to share innovative experiences in conducting relevant school and museum activities and to create awareness among the public and youth about illicit trafficking

Project impact:Twenty seven participants from four UNESCO associate schools, seven other secondary schools and five museums attended a two-day UNESCO Awareness Raising Workshop on the Importance of Movable Cultural Heritage in Mongolia in May 2010. International and local experts presented a broad overview of existing movable heritage and shared the best ways to teach about cultural heritage at schools and museums. More importantly, training addressed the importance of creating various innovative museum education programs at the museums to build greater awareness, pride and knowledge among the public and youth about Mongolian history and unique cultural heritage. Also, the initiative provided a unique opportunity for heritage educators and museum professionals to enhance their partnerships in order to prevent the disappearance of cultural values among young generation as well as decrease illegal trafficking activities.

PROGRAM ACHIEVEMENTS:

The Cultural Heritage Program continued to contribute to the preservation of both intangible and tangible heritage of Mongolia, provided capacity building in local museums and broadened the network of museum experts. International experts offered information on the issus of prevention of illicit trafficking of movable cultural heritage objects. The program has created and maintained a strong network among local government and arts and culture organizations, especially museums. The main foci of the program were fire prevention for historical buildings, creating public awareness about the importance of unique heritage sites and encouraging the collaboration of government, public, private and religious organizations.

AMARBAYASGALANT MONASTERY FIRE & THEFT SECURITY PROJECT PHASE 1

Project goal:To protect the Amarbayasgalant Monastery from the danger of fire and theft through the following objectives:• Conducting an assessment of fire safety and security of the monastery, developing a report on safety assessment and developing architectural

drawings, ensuring historical integrity of the site• Building capacity and knowledge on fire prevention at historical and cultural heritage sites• Developing drawings for a new electrical system for the monastery to ensure safety historical and visual integrity of the monastery• Renewing the existing fire safety system and recommending maintenance of the monastery

Project impact: The project is serving as the best model for the preservation of unique cultural heritage sites and wooden architectural buildings all over the country through a complex approach to the situation. Two fire experts from the ARUP, the US based fire company paid a week-long visit to Mongolia to conduct an assessment and prepare a fire prevention strategy and safety recommendation for the Amarbaysgalant Monastery. Training was held on “Fire & Life Safety” to provide basic knowledge and recommend preventive action for fire safety for 50 monks who live at Amarbayasgalant Monastery. Also, 30 people from five museums and five main monasteries that operate in historical buildings in Ulaanbaatar benefited from a day-long training on “Prevention in Historical Buildings” to learn about best international practices and solutions for fire security of wooden architectural construction. A tangible product of the project is the first-ever computer based architectural and electrical wiring system drawings created for all the 28 temples of Amarbayasgalant Monastery using leading computer software. In broader sense, the project contributes to the preservation of traditional identity that secures the country’s independence, evokes efficient public and private partnerships to preserve cultural assets of Mongolia and promotes the long-term, sustainable development of Selenge province and the community around the monastery site.

“MUSEUM IN A BOX” HERITAGE EDUCATION PROJECT

Project goal:To preserve cultural heritage through transmitting the knowledge to the younger generation using creative and interactive ways of learning.

Project impact:

In 2010, the ACM developed the project concept and completed an assessment of existing museum collections of five state and provincial museums in Ulaanbaatar with the potential to be used for heritage education for secondary school students.

A capacity building training for 30 museum workers and secondary school teachers was organized to introduce information about existing unique heritage sites and museum objects in Mongolia and to share the best practices to build knowledge and awareness on the importance of cultural heritage for every child’s life. The creative and interactive museums in a box, heritage education programs were highlighted.

The project will continue in 2011 to create four heritage education packages based on the unique collections of Zanabazar Fine Arts, Bogd Khan Winter Palace, Natural History Museum and South Gobi Museums. Heritage education touring programs will take place at 16 schools of Ulaanbaatar and the South Gobi region.

In a broader sense, the project is promoting long term sustainability of the museum, networking and partnerships among educational, cultural and business organizations to safeguard Mongolian’s cultural assets.

International project fundraising In 2010 ACM continued to target international donors and foundations and submit appropriate project proposals. ACM raised funds for specific projects from international organizations as listed in the “ACM Project Donors”.

Local project fundraising Local fundraising targeted the Mongolian government, NGOs, businesses and other organizations currently working in Mongolia in 2010. ACM continued to build strong relationships with a number of organizations working in Mongolia as listed in the “ACM Project Donors”.

ACM MembershipIn 2010 ACM developed a new membership strategy in order to ensure long-term sustainability for the ACM activities. One of the new initiatives of the ACM membership is the “Bringing the Arts to You!” creative series of fundraising events organized to recruit new and sustain existing members. Thanks to the new strategy, ACM recruited 7 member organizations, 88 individual members and raised a total of 40,183 US$ in cash and 5,716 US$ in in-kind contributions as listed in the “ACM Membership”.

“Red Ger” Art Gallery Red Ger Art Gallery is an invaluable resource for ACM. Not only does it directly generate revenue through the sale of art and merchandise, but also provides an opportunity for local artists to sustain their artwork and creativity. Red Ger Art Gallery allowed more than 80 artists to promote their works in 2010. But due to the world economic crisis, low numbers of tourists visiting Mongolia and increasing number of similar galleries, the earned income from the Red Ger Art Gallersdecreased by 47% comparing with last year October record. A combined value of 9,958 US$ was generated which raised a total of 3,046 US$ for ACM. However, the Red Ger Gallery remained an important source to promote Mongolian fine arts locally and internationally and support local artists to sustain their creative endeavors.

The goal of the ACM’s Fundraising program is to sustain all ACM programs by raising funds from several sources. These include grants from international foundations and organizations, sponsorship from local and international businesses, ACM membership and revenue raised from Red Ger Art Gallery sales and other resources. In 2010, ACM raised funds of 616,891 US$ in cash and 41,993 US$ in in-kind contributions (including OSI-ACNP institutional grant to ACM and project grants to other Mongolian arts and culture organizations and artists).
