We are a non-profit organization with a goal of promoting and preserveing Georgian culture and heritage through various cultural and educational activities. GCEC’s mission is to connect people of Georgian origin to each other, to their roots, and to the community at large. We aim to celebrate, preserve and share in the joys of Georgian culture while performing the important function of increasing mutual understanding between this small community and the diverse body that is Southern California. The GCEC is nascent but fiercely committed to expanding its activity and scope in pursuit of the above-stated goal. As it grows, GCEC aims to lead the organization of community events, concerts, exhibits, and lectures presenting aspects of Georgia to be shared with and celebrated by compatriots of all nationalities.
