1999 - The Armenian Observer

Manuscript artist Armen Daneghyan will make his American debut, showcasing his manuscript artworks on Saturday and Sunday, December 18 and 19, from 4:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Armenian Society of Los Angeles Center, 221 South Brand Boulevard, Glendale.

Born in Yerevan, Armenia, in 1967, Daneghyan has focused on manuscript art from an early age. He studied graphic design at the Youth Aesthetic Center for four years. From 1984 to 1986, Daneghyan furthered his manuscript art studies at both the Matenadaran and St. Etchmiadzin. His first exhibit was sponsored by the Araratian Diocese in Yerevan and was followed by numerous exhibitions featuring him alongside other emerging artists in Yerevan.

In 1998, his work was showcased at the Armenian Consulate office in São Paulo, Brazil, where it is now displayed for the enjoyment of dignitaries and visitors. Currently, Daneghyan continues to exhibit his work throughout Armenia and is working to bring his art, which embodies a significant historical root of Armenian culture, to the Diaspora community.

This event is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Church of the Western Diocese, in association with the Armenian Society of Los Angeles.
