#12 The Danish Pioneer’s Countdown to Christmas 2013: Enjoy discounts at Scandinavia House in New York City with your American-Scandinavian Foundation Membership
Did you know that The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF), which is headquartered in New York City, was founded in 1911 by Danish-American industrialist Niels Poulson and a group of leaders from business and education? ASF promotes international understanding through educational and cultural exchange between the United States and Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden and has alumni, donors and associate members worldwide.
Over the years, nearly 30,000 young Americans and Scandinavians have participated in ASF’s exchange programs of study, research or practical training. Each year the ASF awards nearly $800,000 in fellowships and grants to individual students, scholars, professionals and artists for projects abroad. The ASF is also responsible for cultural programs, public project grants, publishing, prizes and the modern building, Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, which is located at 58 Park Avenue @ 38th Street, New York, NY 10016.
Scandinavia House itself is the home of The Shop @ Scandinavia House, the restaurant Smörgås Chef, the Victor Borge Hall and much more, including the current art exhibition, “Danish Paintings from the Golden Age to the Modern Breakthrough: Selections from the Collection of Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr,” which has been extended to January 25, 2014.
The Nordic Oscar Contender films will also be shown at Scandinavia House Wednesday, January 8, 15 and 22, 2014. Visit www.scandinaviahouse.org for more information on all of the upcoming programs.
