Project Leader: Elizabet Mamikonyan ’13 (Yerevan, Armenia)
Event Location: Dilijan, Armenia
FLEX GYSD Grant Funding: 500$
Cost Share: 675$
Summary: FLEX alumna Elizabet Mamikonyan ’13 organized a GYSD event to support the Dilijan Art School. The event took place on April 12 with the help of famous Armenian artist Aram Mehrabyan, who taught approximately 30 art school students about modern art history. The project was organized by 15 volunteers, including 8 FLEX alumni.
As part of the project Elizabet bought supplies for the Dilijan Art School with GYSD grant money. Because of a lack of financial resources, the art school cannot provide necessary materials for the students. Volunteers also donated books collected during a book drive, which was organized earlier.
As part of the project, the Tsirani Cultural Hub bought web hosting and a domain for the art school to create its own website. The Dilijan Art School website should be ready very soon, displaying all the great work done by its students. The website will serve as a sustainable source of income, allowing the school to sell artwork, to provide funding for new materials for the students.
The organizers are planning to continue their project in other regions of Armenia.
