ThinGyan Association was founded in 1992 in New York City with the mission to keep alive the traditional arts and culture of Burma. We are a volunteer-based, non-profit association that organizes cultural and education programs for the newest generation of Burmese Americans, Burmese immigrants who wish to preserve their birth-culture, and all those who care about mulit-ethnic tradition, folk arts, and cultural diversity. ThinGyans mission is especially significant in light of difficult access to the indigenous cultures in Burma (now called Myanmar) and the few organizations outside Burma addressing them.
