Creative Armenia and the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) have just announced the ten recipients of the 2023 Creative Armenia-AGBU Fellowships. As always, the fifth wave of the Fellowships will empower powerful new voices in film, music, literature, the visual arts and beyond with funding, mentorship, and career support – but this year with a special emphasis on Artsakh-related projects. 

In light of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Artsakh – with Azerbaijan’s blockade of the Lachin Corridor creating a deepening food, health, and humanitarian crisis for the 120,000 Armenians now trapped in the republic – the producers of Invisible Republic have made the film available digitally in every territory of the world.

“The main goal of Katapult Talks is to share practical industry insights—that precious behind-the-scenes knowhow that is so rarely taught in learning institutions, whether you’re in Armenia or elsewhere."

After two years of virtual screenings, eager film enthusiasts around the globe joined AGBU’s creative young artists for in-person showings and discussions of the past, present, and future of Armenian independent films.

“As the largest Armenian philanthropic organization in the world, AGBU continues its 116-year history of driving thoughtful conversations and impactful programming to support the global Armenian nation through cultural, educational, humanitarian, and socio-economic development initiatives.”

Over 250 music aficionados gathered at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in New York to celebrate the next generation of Armenian talent at the 11th AGBU Performing Artists in Concert.
