"Armenian Caritas" charity organization organized an interesting
exhibition at the Theatrical Square in Gyumri. Titled "Old Age
Through the Eyes Painters", pulled in dozens of talented youth from
city’s art schools who came here to express their thoughts on old age
through their canvases. Standing at their easels they were painting
for 1.5 hour.
The event was organized within the framework of "Home Care of the Old"
project that "Armenia Caritas" launched in 2002 with an aim to bring
the society’s attention to the issues faced by the old people. This
arrangement also was of an educational character for the young
participants some of whom depicted the old people surrounded by the
care of grandchildren… Best paintings will be put on an exhibition.
