    Armenian art exhibit now open

    By Faith Harron

    A new art exhibition is open at the Heritage Center and State Museum.

    "God Given: Cultural Treasures of Armenia" will be on display for one
    year and features the work of traditional/folk artists Norik and Irina
    Astvatsaturov, who fled, with their children, from ethnic and
    religious persecution in Baku, Azerbaijan, and came to North Dakota.

    Their artwork is representative of their heritage, history and
    experiences. Norik Astvatsaturov is a Bush Foundation Artist
    Fellowship recipient whose work consists of copper and bronze repousse
    work with inlaid semi-precious stones. Irina Astvatsaturov works with
    Russian and Eastern European beadwork techniques to create colorful
    beadwork on black velvet.

    North Dakota Council on the Arts' folklorist, Troyd Geist, wrote a
    complementary piece, while a documentary about the artists will
    repeatedly air in the new theater at the Heritage Center and State
    Museum.
