Preserve The Culture
TCEF is dedicated to help preserve the endangered Tibetan culture. With each passing year, Tibet and the issue of Tibet fades that just much away from people’s consciousness. We believe the best way we can help preserve Tibetan culture is by facilitating and providing platforms for Tibetans to share their unique culture with the people in the West, thereby educating and raising awareness of it. Our overall goal is to keep the Tibetan people and their culture fresh in people’s consciousness. We achieve this by touring the country celebrating and speaking on all things Tibetan, inviting Tibetan artists into the country for exhibitions and demonstrations and by organizing a series of Tibetan events here in Montana.
By helping to share the best of Tibetan culture, we also benefit individuals and communities here in Montana, the Northwest and other parts of the US. Our cultural tours bring a unique and endangered art and culture into the lives of thousands. Apart from viewing quality Tibetan art, interested audiences here have opportunities to interact directly with visiting artists and learn more about this unique culture now facing extinction.
