Dear all,
The Arts Council of Mongolia is very happy to present to
you our annual report for 2013.
The chosen cover of the 2013 ACM annual report is a
piece entitledShambhala by young and talented artist named
M.Batzorig. Our selection was not accidental.
Glancing at the picture, it relates the signs of urban
cultures, the connections between things, and the rules of
order. You might wonder where is this artist named after
the Buddhist realm Shambhala. Let us look again. Buildings,
road signs, billboards, information towers, flags and banners
with matching colors, lights, images of various sorts float in
the air. Artists through these images explain that the human
soul is not bound by rules and that creativity, dreams, and
freedom of thought drives us.
Recently, our freedom and dreams are dependent on the
presence of too much materiality. To experience freedom of
thought in becoming an artist, you do not have to have wealth.
Just look around you with a little curiosity, look through
different eyes, visit one of the citys free art galleries, take
pictures of your favorite art with your phone, or its enough
just to think about them on your way home. Then when the
opportunity arises as the calendar of events rotates, go see
performances, meet with artists, and try to support them-
thats plenty. This gives freedom of thought to you.
In 2013, ACM initiatives supported intellectual resources
and artists productions, giving you a rich diversity of
access and choice and providing for many ideas from many
perspectives.
Of the ACMs four core programs, the largest in the Arts
program. In 2013, the Arts program implemented more than
20 projects and cultural exchange programs and trainings, with

Venice, and Berlinalewere shown as part of the Ulaanbaatar

working with artists from 15 countries of the world to increase
international cooperation and to exchange experiences.
The ACMs Community arts education program aims to
promote public awareness of arts and culture and increase the
