The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Shadows of the Forgotten Past, a collaborative exhibition by Rafi Babayan and Vachag Ter Sarkissian.

Bringing together painting and sculptural forms, the exhibition explores memory, historical traces, and the fragile presence of what remains across time. Through symbolic imagery, textured surfaces, and expressive compositions, the works evoke fragments of forgotten narratives that continue to resonate in the present.

The exhibition’s title suggests an encounter with what history leaves behind — images, forms, and impressions that survive in altered shapes yet continue to carry emotional and cultural weight. The sculptural works appear almost archaeological in spirit, while the paintings preserve figures, symbols, and visual echoes that suggest inherited memory and layered identity.

Shadows of the Forgotten Past invites viewers into a space where personal memory and collective history intersect, allowing each work to function as both reflection and rediscovery.

We warmly invite you to join us for two days of art, contemplation, and dialogue.

Opening night: Friday, April 10, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Exhibition continues: Saturday, April 11, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Soul Search, an exhibition by Samuel Halajian, also known as HALLAJ.

This exhibition invites viewers into an introspective visual journey where figures, symbols, and layered compositions become reflections of inner dialogue and emotional inquiry. Through expressive forms and an instinctive use of color, Samuel Halajian creates works that feel both deeply personal and open to interpretation.

The title Soul Search suggests a process of questioning, reflection, and discovery — an exploration of identity, perception, and the human condition through visual language. Each work carries a sense of movement between inner thought and external form, where fragments of memory, imagination, and emotion come together on the canvas.

The exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to engage with contemporary works that balance spontaneity and structure, inviting quiet observation as well as personal interpretation.

We warmly invite you to join us for two days of art, reflection, and conversation.

Opening night: Friday, April 3, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Exhibition continues: Saturday, April 4, 2026 | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

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.

Blending 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.

Each 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.

Silk 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.

We invite you to experience this feast for the senses and immerse yourself in a world of color, light, and texture.

Join us for two evenings celebrating the artistry of Nazani.

Opening night: Friday, June 26, 2026 | 7:00–10:00 PM
Exhibition continues: Saturday, June 27, 2026 | 3:00–6:00 PM

Armenian Arts presents Hoarse Fanfares: Triumph, an exhibition exploring the mystical dimension of the graphic practice of Stratumism by Armen Ronov.

In spiritual tradition, fanfares announce awakening.
Yet when they sound hoarse, awakening has passed through purification — through fire. This exhibition reflects the triumph of a spirit that has undergone initiation.

Artistic Manifesto 

Layering. Incisions. Texture.

• Fanfare — the line as proclamation, the gesture as signal.
• Hoarseness — the tactile abrasion of graphic matter.
• Triumph — the achieved compositional equilibrium.

This is the triumph of material left unpolished.

Hoarse Fanfares: Triumph is a victory without varnish.
It is the sound of art that has endured the friction of time.

Here, triumph does not shout. It bears witness — in a raspy register — affirming both fact and communion with time itself.

We invite you to experience this contemplative and textural body of work across two evenings at Armenian Arts.

Exhibition Dates:
Friday, March 13, 2026 | 7:00–10:00 PM
Saturday, March 14,2026 | 3:00–6:00 PM
