ISE Cultural Foundationは１９８４年の設立以来３２年間、主にアーティスト、キュレーター等を支援する非営利団体として今日まで運営を続けて参りましたが、 この度当基金東京本部の決断により、本年１２月末日を持ちまして活動を終了する運びとなりました。

突然の知らせに私達ニューヨーク・オフィスは驚愕しながらも、なんとか活動を継続する方法を模索いたしましたが、日本側の決定を覆すことはかなわず、大変残念な結果となってしまいました。 活動半ばにして皆様にこのようなお知らせをする事になってしまい、今はただただ無念さ、悲しさが募るばかりでございます。

つきましては、当ニューヨーク・オフィスは１２月３１日をもちまして運営を終了させていただきます。

皆様の長年にわたるご厚情に心から感謝申し上げますと共に、突然の休止でご迷惑をおかけしますことを深くお詫び申し上げる次第です。

We are sad to inform you that ISE Cultural Foundation NY has to close its doors due to a sudden decision made by our headquarters in Tokyo.

The current location of the NY office will be closed indefinitely on December 31, 2016.

After this unexpected notice was delivered, we searched for any possibility to continue our activities in New York. However, we could not overturn the decision in Japan.

Since 1984 for 32 years ISE Cultural Foundation NY has been working as a 501-C3 non-profit organization to support mainly artists and curators. It is so regrettable and disappointing that we have to stop our activities in the middle of operation.

We deeply appreciate your support and friendship to the foundation for such a long time and we apologize any inconvenience caused by this closure.
