MOON AND STARS PROJECT
The Moon and Stars Project was founded in April 2001 in New York. It is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to highlighting the changing face of Turkish arts and culture and establishing a two-way
cultural interaction between the United States and Turkey. Growing out of MayFest, a month-long festival first started in May 1999, the Moon and Stars Project is now an organization that presents year-round
programs and festivals. Our initiatives have drawn an outpouring of support from the community, both in the United States and in Turkey, and from local and international organizations. Each year we
have grown as an organization and initiated more ambitious programs and events. What started out as a little festival has come a long way.
