    "My Home, Armenia" children's art exhibition and sale
    to be held at Lovers' Park in Yerevan

    Yerevan, May 12, 2009: The Lovers' Park, one of the Armenian capital's
    most beloved public spaces, will host "My Home, Armenia," an
    extraordinary children's art exhibition, this month. The fundraising
    event, initiated and sponsored by the Hayastan All- Armenian Fund,
    will be held on Friday, May 15, beginning at 2 PM, at the park's
    sprawling Boghossian Gardens.

    The exhibition and sale will feature the fine-art creations and
    handicrafts of youths from several schools and children's homes. The
    participating institutions include the Mary Izmirlyan Children's Home
    in Yerevan; Our Lady of Armenia Boghossian Educational Center, Jean
    and Albert Boghossian Art School, and Meghvik Youth Center in Gyumri;
    and Parakar Art School in Parakar Village, Kotayk Region.

    "The students were thrilled to get involved in the exhibition," said
    Ara Vardanyan, acting executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian
    Fund. "This is a wonderful opportunity to present to the public the
    artistic creations of our talented, imaginative youths, and to be
    inspired by the warmth and love which they express toward the theme of
    homeland." All participating schools and children's homes are past
    beneficiaries of various projects financed through the Hayastan
    All-Armenian Fund. The Lovers' Park itself is the site of a major
    initiative by the fund: a multimillion-dollar facelift that was
    sponsored by Switzerland-based benefactor Albert Boghossian.

    Proceeds from the "My Home, Armenia" exhibition will benefit the
    participating institutions, helping them meet urgent operational needs
    and improve educational programs.

    The exhibition is sponsored by a number of corporations including
    Printinfo, Negative Studio, Coca-Cola, Achajur, Tashir Pizza, Armenian
    Public Radio, and Hayastani Hanrapetutyun daily.
    Students of the Yerevan State Musical Pedagogical College after
    A.Babajanyan and the Parakar Art School will embellish the event by
    choral and other musical recitals.
