The City of Glendale and the Library, Arts & Culture Department, in collaboration with the Yerevan Municipality Tourism Department, will host a special 10-day exhibition at Downtown Central Library’s ReflectSpace and PassageWay galleries. YEREVAN2800, a celebration of the 2800th anniversary of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, will run from July 11 - 22, 2018, with an opening reception on Friday, July 13, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Entrance to the reception is from Louise Street only.
Dating back to the 8th century BC, Yerevan is one of the world’s oldest and continuously inhabited cities. YEREVAN2800 will showcase the city’s undeniable mark on history and its dynamic vitality with contemporary art, film and photography as well as historic images illustrating its place in the world as a thriving and vibrant city of the 21st century.
Photographs by notable photographers such as Vruyr, J. Dadyants, and H. Tarverdyants depict Yerevan from the 19th century to the present day. The historic and Soviet-era photographs are preserved in the collection of the Yerevan History Museum and reprinted for this special exhibition. Photographs highlighting Armenia’s recent historic Velvet Revolution taken in the streets of Yerevan will also be on view. Artists in YEREVAN2800 include Sev Black, Sophia Gasparian, Narine Isajanyan, Edmond Keshishyan, Ashot Khudaverdyan, Karen Mirzoyan and Anahid Yahjian/Emily Mkrtichian. #visitYerevan #yerevan2800
