RA ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS IS ALREADY 60YEARS OLD
[07:20 pm] 26 October, 2006
The Yerevan State Academy of Fine Arts will celebrate its 60th
anniversary of October 27 – 28.
A number of events are scheduled on that day – the statue of Ara
Sargsyan will be unveiled inside the building, there will be an
exhibition of students’ works and a concert will be held in
Philharmonic hall on October 28.
The academy was founded in 1944.
The new building of the academy was in a miserable state. And the RA
Government allocated 145 million AMD for the reconstruction, says
Rector Aram Isabekyan. The current building can hardly be compared
with the one we had 10 years ago.
The academy has got departments in Gyumri and Vanadzor, and its
students outnumber nine hundred.
Every year the students of the academy go to study in Paris where a
workshop was opened by the financial assistance of an Armenian deputy.
