Of Gold and Grass:
Nomads of Kazakhstan was the very first opportunity for the American public
to get a personal introduction to the fascinating history and culture
of ancient peoples who lived on the territory of present day Kazakhstan.
The exhibit was a combination of amazingly beautiful objects of art and
the story of their recovery.

The Foundation
for International Arts & Education (FIAE) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3)
organization. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, the Foundation was
created to help protect and preserve the historical and cultural legacy
of the countries of the former Soviet Union. Through its Arts &
Exhibitions Program, the Foundation organizes and manages art exhibitions
at venues throughout the United States. A portion of the proceeds of
these exhibitions goes to foreign lending museums in order to directly
contribute to the preservation of these priceless world treasures.
The Foundation for International Arts & Education
was created with a set of very explicit goals and principles:
- Preservation
and protection of artistic and cultural legacies;
- Presentation
of first-rate art exhibitions;
- Adherence
to the highest artistic standards in determining the contents and themes
of these exhibitions;
- Protection
of the dignity and reputation of the institutions whose artifacts are
presented;
- Involvement
of the local host communities in all aspects of planning exhibitions,
cultural events and research projects;
- Assurance
that quality educational programs are developed and presented throughout
the exhibition’s showing in each US community;
- Support of
substantive research and analysis; and
- Development
and creation of long-term professional relations.
The Foundation's
Board of Directors is chaired by Ambassador Arthur Hartman, former Ambassador
to France and to the Soviet Union.
FIAE's President
is Dr. Greg Guroff, university professor, diplomat, and former Director
of the President's U.S.-Soviet Exchange Initiative.
