Honoring the past.
Celebrating the present.
Building for the future.
A note regarding the COVID-19 crisis
During these unprecedented times, the French-American Cultural Foundation has not allowed grass to grow under our feet. Having the time to read, think, confer, and consider has only confirmed the broad range of our programming possibilities.
Today’s interpretation of “culture” allows us to expand potential topics of discussion to Artificial Intelligence, Art, Cuisine, Dance, History, Horticulture, Innovation, Music, Science, Space, and Wine, to name a few. Stay tuned as we announce new events – both live (when deemed wise) and virtual – as we adventure down the rich and storied path of the historic relationship between America and its first friend, France.
En cette période difficile, la Fondation n’a pas perdu de temps. Ayant eu le temps, ces derniers mois, de lire, penser, conférer, et considérer n’a fait que confirmer la grande gamme de possibilités en ce qui concerne notre programmation.
La “culture,” telle qu’elle est interprétée de nos jours, nous permets d’aborder de nouveaux sujets de discussion, tels que l’intelligence artificielle, l’art, la cuisine, la dance, l’histoire, l’horticulture, l’innovation, la musique, la science, l’espace, et le vin, parmi tant d’autres. Restez à l’écoute, car nous allons bientôt annoncer de nouveaux programmes – tenus en direct et virtuellement – en poursuivant notre découverte des relations riches d’histoire entre les Étas Unis et sa première amie, la France.

Cur Non? Pourquoi Pas? Why Not?
The Marquis de Lafayette, who served the Continental Army with distinction during the American Revolutionary War, was born of a family whose coat of arms bore the Latin words “Cur Non” or “Why Not?” These are words we at the French-American Cultural Foundation live by as we celebrate with “joie de vivre” our countries’ rich heritage and exciting future!
