FOCUS on Art Auction Raises Thousands for NYSIP Scholarships
Over two dozen items were sold as part of the Saturday auction at the Grant Gallery in Soho. Known as FOCUS on Art, the event raised thousands of dollars for FOCUS' scholarship endowment for the New York Summer Intern Program.
Close to two hundred guests attended the lively auction, which included silent auction items and a select number of works sold at live auction. Charity auctioneer A. Agopian and assistant auctioneer T. Aynilian roused the crowd and made it a memorable fundraising experience. Artworks from the Yerevan Fine Arts Academy (Yerevan, Armenia) and the AGBU Sarian Art Academy (Aleppo, Syria) were among those sold for charity. Other participating artists included, Anet Abnous, Vahram Aghazarian, Shant Donabedian, Linda Ganjian, Aram Jibilian, Carla Koulajian, Vadim Krisyan, Helga Sarkis, Gailyn Saroyan, Sam Tchakalian and Sossy Terzian.
