"My Home, Armenia" children’s art exhibition and sale
to be held at Lovers’ Park in Yerevan

Yerevan, May 12, 2009: The Lovers’ Park, one of the Armenian capital’s
most beloved public spaces, will host "My Home, Armenia," an
extraordinary children’s art exhibition, this month. The fundraising
event, initiated and sponsored by the Hayastan All- Armenian Fund,
will be held on Friday, May 15, beginning at 2 PM, at the park’s
sprawling Boghossian Gardens.

The exhibition and sale will feature the fine-art creations and
handicrafts of youths from several schools and children’s homes. The
participating institutions include the Mary Izmirlyan Children’s Home
in Yerevan; Our Lady of Armenia Boghossian Educational Center, Jean
and Albert Boghossian Art School, and Meghvik Youth Center in Gyumri;
and Parakar Art School in Parakar Village, Kotayk Region.

"The students were thrilled to get involved in the exhibition," said
Ara Vardanyan, acting executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian
Fund. "This is a wonderful opportunity to present to the public the
artistic creations of our talented, imaginative youths, and to be
inspired by the warmth and love which they express toward the theme of
homeland." All participating schools and children’s homes are past
beneficiaries of various projects financed through the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund. The Lovers’ Park itself is the site of a major
initiative by the fund: a multimillion-dollar facelift that was
sponsored by Switzerland-based benefactor Albert Boghossian.

Proceeds from the "My Home, Armenia" exhibition will benefit the
participating institutions, helping them meet urgent operational needs
and improve educational programs.

The exhibition is sponsored by a number of corporations including
Printinfo, Negative Studio, Coca-Cola, Achajur, Tashir Pizza, Armenian
Public Radio, and Hayastani Hanrapetutyun daily.
Students of the Yerevan State Musical Pedagogical College after
A.Babajanyan and the Parakar Art School will embellish the event by
choral and other musical recitals.
