/PanARMENIAN.Net/ ART-EXPO 2010 second annual exhibition was held
in Artists’ Union of Armenia on February 12. Over 50 cultural
organizations and NGOs presented their achievements of the previous
year.

According to the organizers, the exhibition is a chance to introduce
the achievements of Armenian art to public, to establish new links
with International partners and to strengthen cultural cooperation
between Armenian and international organizations.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan also attended the exhibition.

Hasmik Poghosyan, RA Minister of Culture stated, "This exhibition
will promote the cooperation between the state and private cultural
organizations of Armenia and show which art products can be exported.

Quality of our products is still not high enough, and we have Á
visualization problem of what we produce. ART-EXPO aims to address
this issue, as all we produce is meant to be consumed by broad masses
of people."

She also mentioned that the number of participants has almost doubled.

"We also noticed that some participants had disagreements because of
the location of their pavilions, which means that they are interested
in successful participation on the exhibition," the Minister said.

Master class by Saida Medvedeva, director of "Mould", "Water" and other
movies, will be organized on the second day of the two-day exhibition.
