Gallery Z to launch Contemporary Armenian Artists exhibition

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Contemporary Armenian Artists exhibition, starting with an opening reception in the evening of May 19, will feature both long-celebrated artists listed in museum collections as well as emerging talents from within the Armenian art world, according to the Armenian Reporter.

Being of Armenian ancestry himself, Gallery Z Director Bérge Zobian takes pride in showcasing and sponsoring Armenian artists from all over the world.

The expectation for this exhibit is to feature many works of art in different mediums by reflecting the Armenian spirit. From its inception in January, 2001, Galley Z's niche and mission has been to represent and showcase Armenian artists, artisans, and artworks.

Also, on the last Thursday of each month, the participating Public Art Window organization at Gallery Z hosts a fundraising event to elevate public consciousness for their cause. On Thursday, May 26, from 5-7 pm, (Gallery Z's Art, Food & Wine Creating Awareness for a Cause) Gallery Z will partner with Harbor House of Providence, Rhode Island. This event will feature cuisine provided by a Providence restaurant and world-class hand selected wine.

Located on Historic Federal Hill in Providence, Gallery Z provides the Rhode Island community with an eclectic collection of art by Armenian, local, national, and international artists from the 20th century to the present. Since its inception in 2001 by photographer Bérge Ara Zobian, Gallery Z has been spearheading efforts to connect the public with the growing arts community. The gallery's public art window was created in the same spirit, geared towards raising awareness of issues of importance to those in the community.
