CALVERT 22 FOUNDATION:
Calvert 22 Foundation's mission is to create
projects and partnerships focused on the
contemporary art and culture of Russia and
Eastern Europe.
Drawing on the artistic and intellectual legacies
of the former East , we seek to prompt new
thinking about the promise and significance of
the region.
Calvert 22 Foundation is a not-for-profit
organisation. We are committed to dialogue
and discovery. To the development of
international creative networks. And to the
potential of culture as the basis for international
connection.
The foundation is active in four main areas: art,
culture, research and learning, each of which
has its own special project.
