SUMMARY:Silk Passion Art Exhibition by Nazani
DESCRIPTION:Armenian Arts invites you to Silk Passion\, a captivating exhibition by artist Nazani\, presenting a new exploration in fine art through the medium of silk painting. \nBlending delicate craftsmanship with contemporary artistic vision\, Nazani’s work transforms silk into a vibrant canvas where color\, movement\, and texture come alive. The fluid nature of silk allows pigments to flow and merge in unexpected ways\, creating luminous compositions that feel both spontaneous and deeply expressive. \nEach piece reveals the unique dialogue between material and imagination — where the softness of silk meets bold artistic intention. Through subtle transitions of color and intricate patterns\, the works invite viewers into a visual journey that celebrates beauty\, sensitivity\, and creative freedom. \nSilk Passion represents a new chapter in fine art practice\, where traditional techniques meet modern artistic expression. The exhibition highlights the remarkable possibilities of silk painting as a medium capable of conveying emotion\, elegance\, and visual harmony. \nWe invite you to experience this feast for the senses and immerse yourself in a world of color\, light\, and texture. \nJoin us for two evenings celebrating the artistry of Nazani. \nOpening night: Friday\, June 26\, 2026 | 7:00–10:00 PM\nExhibition continues: Saturday\, June 27\, 2026 | 3:00–6:00 PM

SUMMARY:Yes\, We Have: Criminals — Book Launch & Birthday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:I invite you to join me for a very special evening at the Center for Armenian Arts as I celebrate my birthday with the launch of my newest book\, Yes\, We Have: Criminals\, part of the ongoing Yes\, We Have series. \nEvery community has its heroes\, artists\, scholars\, entrepreneurs\, and individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to society. The Armenian community is no exception\, and we have much to be proud of. But if we are going to tell our story honestly\, we must also be willing to acknowledge its uncomfortable chapters. Yes\, We Have: Criminals is not intended to embarrass Armenians or judge an entire community by the actions of a few. Rather\, it documents individual cases involving fraud\, deception\, corruption\, and criminal activity while recognizing that those actions do not represent the Armenian people as a whole. \nThis book continues the mission of the Yes\, We Have series: to document Armenian life and contributions honestly and preserve our stories for future generations. Celebrating our accomplishments should not require us to hide our failures; acknowledging both is part of preserving a complete and truthful history. \nThe evening will also feature other books from the Yes\, We Have series\, including Yes\, We Have\, Yes\, We Have: Expanded\, Yes\, We Have: Women and also The Armenian in America and Monasteries and Churches of Artsakh + Map of Artsakh. \nMost importantly\, all funds raised from book sales during the event will go toward supporting student tuition\, making this celebration not only about looking back at our stories\, but also about investing in the next generation. \nI hope you will join me for an evening of conversation\, books\, community\, and\, of course\, a little birthday celebration. \nDate: Wednesday\, September 16\, 2026Time: 7:00 PMLocation: The Center for Armenian ArtsAddress: 250 N. Orange Street\, Glendale\, CA 91203 \nParking: Parking is available at 222 N. Orange St.\, Glendale\, CA 91203. The first 90 minutes are free\, with parking available for $3.00 per hour thereafter.
