    The 5th Gyumri Biennale of Contemporary Art was held this year on
    August 12-18. 102 artists from 19 countries arrived in Armenia,
    the organizers said at a press conference at the Gevorgian Gallery
    meanwhile stressing their satisfaction with biennale's results.

    Organizer Arpi Tokmajian says that the biennale "was a real celebration
    for the representatives of the contemporary art and the residents
    of Gyumri, of course." With the framework of biennale an open-air
    exhibition on the shore of the Lake Sevan was staged.

    "We all know that the cultural life is focused in Yerevan. We wanted
    to transfer it to the regions," said founder of Gyumri Biennale, Azat
    Sargsian. He also said that they received no financial assistance from
    the state, and Arpi Tokmajian added: "This time we decided to spare
    our efforts directing them to inviting foreign artists and searching
    for other sources of funding."
