The Armenian Library and Museum of America in Watertown will host
an exhibition and opening reception of local Armenian artist Hope
Ricciardi's work this Sunday, according to the organization.
Ricciardi, whose work has also been showcased at the Galatea Fine
Art Gallery in Boston, serves to inform and honor the history and
numerous contributions of the Armenian people through her work.
She began researching her grandfather's Armenian heritage and the
history of the Armenian diaspora in 2010, according to a prepared
statement.
Her work for the exhibition, "History Ignored," is based on
photographic transfer and plaster gesso on various surfaces including
canvas, linen and panels.
Ricciardi currently maintains a studio in Boston and is preparing a
major exhibit for 2015, the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
Her exhibition at the Armenian Library and Museum of America will
run through April 29.
The museum is at 65 Main St. The reception will take place at the
museum's Contemporary Art Gallery on the third floor at 2 p.m.
Admission is free and open to the public.
