In addition to diocesan records, the Zohrab Information Center and Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern) contain a treasure trove of unique, archival materials about a broad array of Armenian artists. Archivist Linda Page is highlighting the collections of two Armenian-American painters: Vava Sarkis Khachaturian and Arshile Gorky (and his sister and nephew Vartoosh and Karlen Mooradian). Adapted from a presentation given to educators and principals at Armenian schools, this talk will highlight the educational value in these collections and the hopes of the Zohrab Information Center and diocese to increase its outreach to schools and community groups of people of all ages.
This event is part of the proceedings of the Archives Education Institute (AEI), whose aim is to pair K-12 educators with unique archival repositories in the NY metropolitan area. This event has been structured to accommodate both A.R.T. members and educators registered for AEI.
Registration Note: Register via Zoom.
