Every year various AGBU entities print calendars for their members and do a wonderful job of bringing the AGBU spirit into Armenian homes around the world. This year, two calendars were particularly noteworthy for their unique content and beautiful images.

AGBU Sarian Academy (Aleppo, Syria)

Celebrating its 57th Anniversary this year, the Sarian Academy continues to offer artistic training to a generation to artists young and old interested in exploring their creative visions. Below are some images (featuring work by Sarian students) from this year's calendar.

AGBU AYA Aleppo

Every year, AYA Aleppo finds a unique topic for the calendar, and this year they showcased famous Armenian male composers on every page. Below we've featured the colorful page on Alexander Spendiarian.
