== Foundation and history ==
Upon realizing the lack of information about their country and culture within the American public, in October 2003, a group of Turks and Turkish American students came together in Phoenix, Arizona and founded a non-profit organization which they chose to name Bosphorus Art Project, paying homage to their beloved city Istanbul, Turkey and hoping that the way Bosphorus Bridge connects east and west over Bosphorus, it would connect American and Turkish cultures together.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bosphorus Art Project )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bosphorus Art Project )〕 At the time, a similar non-profit, the Moon and Stars Project in New York, USA, founded by Turks and Turkish Americans living in the east coast, was actively working towards introducing Turkish culture to Americans in the form of seminars, film days and art shows and the Turks and Turkish Americans of the west coast were inspired by their work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moons and Stars Project of the American Turkish Society )〕 Bosphorus Art Project received substantial support from their east coast sister, The Moon and Stars Project, from their inception until 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moon and Stars Project )〕 One of the most prominent Turkish organizations in the States, Turkish Cultural Foundation also supported Bosphorus Art Project by approving grants for their cultural and promotional activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grant for Bosphorus Art Project )〕
