Projects

There is no nation which does not need to borrow from others. Ralph Waldo Emerson

As part of my initiatives and programmes I have organised a series of artistic/cultural projects in different countries. Their main goal was to help emerging artists gain recognition for their talent by offering an interactive platform to showcase their work and promote cultural dialogue.

In Moscow, I organised together with the Winzavod Centre of Contemporary Art an exhibition featuring expat artists from Moscow alongside a fundraising event, supported by the diplomatic community. Additionally, in 2012, the Delegation of the European Union to the Russian Federation organized the contest and exhibition on the theme “There is No Nation Which Does Not Need to Borrow From Others,” showcasing the work of young artists in Moscow.

In Yerevan, Armenia, the Cafesjian Center for Arts hosted an art contest and cultural event titled E-Portfolio, aimed at supporting the KASA Humanitarian Foundation’s artist program and fostering diplomatic engagement through art.

I founded Art and the Market Magazine as a digital journal that explores the intersections of art, market dynamics, and the forces that shape the global art industry. Through features, interviews, and analysis, Art and the Market examines how cultural and commercial influences impact art trends, valuations, and the visibility of artists. Launched as a startup project, it brings together experts and enthusiasts, fostering a deeper understanding of the art market’s inner workings with a particular focus on new and emerging art centres.

I co-founded Armenian Art Fair in 2017 to establish a prominent international platform for showcasing Armenian and regional artists. The Armenian Art Fair provides a unique space for artistic exchange and visibility. Since its inception, it has connected artists, galleries, and collectors, spotlighting contemporary Armenian art and fostering its integration into the global art community. Galleries artists and expert speakers have appeared at the Armenia Art Fair, including from the US, Spain, London, Belarus, Germany, Iran.
