The Colors of the Homeland Landscapes" in Border
On October 29, the Naregatsi Art Institute unveiled the exhibition entitled "Homeland Landscapes," featuring around 50 works by young people living in Armenia's border communities, whose works reflect the beauty of their native nature and colorful images of rural life.
For the third year in a row, the Art PR company has been organizing this fall exhibition, aiming to introduce children to cultural life, encourage their creative self-expression, and discover young talents.
The exhibited works were created during plein-air painting sessions organized over the summer. They were held in various settlements of Tavush, Lori, and Vayots Dzor regions: Akhtala, Dilijan, and the villages of Movses and Khachik. This year, the project also expanded to include Nerkin Karmir Aghbyur, Aygepar, and the Tumanyan community, encompassing a total of about ten settlements.
Tatevik Hambardzumyan, art critic, curator of exhibitions at the Naregatsi Art Institute, welcoming the attendees, highlighted the importance of involving children in a cultural environment and developing their creative potential. "In our villages, in border settlements, there are many talented children who need to discover and hone their talent. And art educates a child spiritually, trains the mind and cultivates taste. We are glad that you have presented these colorful works to us, and many people will have the opportunity to come and enjoy the emotions you have painted," she noted.
Gayane Davtyan, President of the Art PR company, emphasized that plein-air painting sessions and the subsequent exhibitions not only provide children with the opportunity to engage in creative work but also contribute to their professional orientation.
“The main goal of the project is to help children from border villages, especially Tavush, develop an aesthetic taste and love for creativity. After our plein-airs, there are children who have decided to become artists. We already have students from Terlemezyan College who want to enter the Academy of Fine Arts later,” said Gayane Davtyan.
She expressed special gratitude to the Naregatsi Art Institute and its founder Nareg Hartounian for providing the opportunity to present the children's work and share their first creative steps with the public.
The "Homeland Landscapes" exhibition will be on display at the Naregatsi Art Institute until October 30.
Admission is free for all art lovers.
