Arts
Our mission is to celebrate and promote Ethiopian arts in North America through dynamic cultural programming. We will curate public art exhibitions, featuring both contemporary works and historical photography that documents the Ethiopian life journey. Furthermore, we are committed to establishing a professional network for artists—a dedicated platform to foster collaboration, facilitate the exchange of ideas, and amplify their creative voices
Literature
We will launch strategic programs to preserve, promote, and celebrate Ethiopia’s rich literary heritage. These initiatives will be implemented through partnerships with cultural institutions, educational bodies, and like-minded organizations to maximize their reach and impact.

This future institution will be a dynamic centerpiece for preserving and celebrating Ethiopian heritage in North America. Detailed planning for this exciting project will commence in the coming years.
Research
The Ethiopian Heritage Foundation in North America (EHFINA) is dedicated to advancing the scholarly documentation and public awareness of Ethiopian cultural heritage. Through strategic partnerships with academic institutions, the sponsorship of innovative research projects, and the hosting of international symposia, we aim to build a vibrant intellectual hub for the preservation and celebration of Ethiopia’s rich historical legacy.
