Watertown – The Armenian Library and Museum of America will transform
into a children’s center for ALMA’s annual Family Day on Sunday,
March 20.
The free event will take place from 2-4 p.m. and is open to all
families looking for an afternoon packed with activities.
ALMA’s Contemporary Art Galleries will be transformed into one big
playground featuring a broad range of engaging activity stations that
teach children about the life, history and culture of the Armenian
people.
Storyteller David Elizian will bring traditional Armenian children’s
stories to life with his trunk of hats and props. Elizian, who is an
actor trained in Yerevan, has been active teaching dramatic arts in
Boston-area Armenian schools for many years.
At the Costume Corner children will have an opportunity to try
on traditional Armenian costumes. An assortment of paint, crayons,
crafts paper, colored pencils and other supplies will be provided to
those who will prefer to practice their art skills. At the end of the
program ALMA curators Susan and Gary Lind-Sinanian will teach children
and their family basic steps to traditional Armenian dances. There
will also be food and face painting.
The Armenian Library and Museum of America is at 65 Main St.,
Watertown. For information call 617-926-2562.
