Creative Armenia and the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) are now

filmmakers, musicians, writers, and artists across all creative fields, the 
Fellowships are a package of funding, mentorship, promotion, and strategic 
support. Applications will be accepted until October 31.

"In times of crisis, visionary thinking becomes impossible to ignore," said Alec 
Mouhibian, Vice President of Creative Armenia. "The next class of Creative 
Armenia-AGBU Fellows will have a singular opportunity to shape Armenia's 
artistic landscape for years to come."  

The current 2020 Fellows are: composer and musician Armen Bazarian; visual 
artist and curator Nvard Yerkanian; theatre director and dancer Tsolak 
Mlke-Galstyan; composer and conductor Alexandr Iradyan; composer and pianist 
Zela Margossian, and filmmaker Vahagn Khachatryan. 

"Our Fellows have shown diversity in their creativity and expression over the 
past few years putting Armenian culture on the map in their unique ways," said 
AGBU Central Board Member Ani Manoukian. "We are proud of the achievements of 
this partnership and of the talents supported. We look forward to the third 
cohorts setting the bar even higher."

For more information on the Fellowships and to submit your application by 
October 31, please visit creativearmenia.org/fellowships and

Now in its third term, the Fellowships are a collaboration of Creative Armenia 
and AGBU, which entered into a strategic partnership in May 2018.

Creative Armenia, a global arts foundation for the Armenian people, pursues a 
mandate to discover, develop, produce, and promote innovative talent.  AGBU, a 
trusted name across the diaspora for over a century, has opened many doors for 
talented Armenians through such offerings as university-level performing arts 
scholarships, summer internships, and professional programs such as Musical 
Armenia and Sayat Nova International Composition Competition-all under the aegis 
of the AGBU Performing Arts Department, established in the United States in 2012 
and in Europe in 2016.
