Poster exhibition “50 years of Cultural Exhibitions of the Council of
Europe” will be held at the European Regional Academy of the Caucasus
(10 David Anhaght Str.), from 5 to 15 May 2005. The exhibition,
organised by the Council of Europe Information Office in Armenia with
the assistance of the European Regional Academy, is aimed at both the
officials and professionals involved in culture and cultural affairs,
as well as public at large.
The poster exhibition presents the history of promotion of European
culture by the Council of Europe since 1954, through annual art
exhibitions.
The RA Deputy Minister of Culture Gagik Gyurjyan pointed out that it
was by the accession to the European Cultural Convention back in 1997
that Armenia proved her belonging to Europe.
Director of the Council of Europe Information Office in Armenia Susan
Marukhyan emphasised that the Council of Europe exhibitions are the
vivid proof of the fruitfulness of the co-operation foreseen by the
European Cultural Convention., which aims to promote the consciousness
of common European culture by creating educational opportunities
and methodology development preconditions and by encouraging and
facilitating the free circulation of people, ideas and works of art.
In 1954, the Council of Europe invited all the European states to join
its Cultural Convention. Since then, it has organised 28 exhibitions
in several European countries, demonstrating the unity of European
art and instilling a sense of belonging to a wide European culture.
