Pasadena Art Show Raises Awareness About Armenian Art
From September 27 - 30, 2007, AGBU hosted a successful exhibition entitled, “Nine Contemporary Artists from Armenia," which attracted close to 900 people. The newly renovated Boyajian Hall at Pasadena’s AGBU Alex Manoogian Center was transformed into a glittering gallery of art which displayed works by nine artists originally from Armenia: Gagik Ghazanchyan, Mayis Mkhitaryan, Garegin Davtyan, Marine Dilanyan, Lilit Soghomonyan, Ashot Avagyan, Albert Hakobian, Khachik Abrahamyan, and Hermine Demirtshyan (who currently resides in Mexico City)--click here for participating artist biographies.
The event was organized by Kevork Zakoyan from Armenia and Haig Messerlian of the AGBU Southern California District Committee (SCDC). An impressive art catalog, designed by Haig Messerlian, illustrated the works and included detailed artist biographies.
Over 50 artwork were sold at the event.
