An evening designed to revitalize and cultivate the art within each of us, will be held on April 27, 2018 at 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. when the Zorayan Museum Committee of the Western Diocese of the Armenian church hold “Family Paint Night” Guests of all ages are invited to attend and paint their own masterpiece. Guests will also enjoy wine and appetizers as well as the canvas and all supplies for their paintings.
The Zorayan Museum Committee, under the auspices of His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, has organized exhibits of famous paintings by Armenian artists, as well as lectures and theatrical plays to promote and preserve Armenian art, history and Culture. “I am pleased that the committee is again conducting this event and the opportunity to discover the art within each of us.”
Vania Vartzbedian, member of the Zorayan Museum Committee, stated: “The Paint Night is back by popular demand. We were delighted last year with the enthusiastic response and the joy it brought to all who participated as they returned home with their own original paintings.”
Guiding the participants through a step by step process is the noted Director of Creative Lounge, Armineh Havan, an organization she created to establish a carefree environment for artists to explore and express their art through classes, workshops, or individual exploration. Havan is a certified Person-Centered Expressive Arts Therapy (PCEAT) facilitator. She has a Master of Art Degree in Fine Arts, which she completed with high honors. Her expressive arts workshops encourage personal growth and healing for individuals and groups of both adults and children and have impacted many locally as well as internationally. She has also conducted workshops for organizations that support women around the world, including the Women’s Resource Center in Yerevan, Armenia.
