grants for iranian and georgian artists

Henrik Igityan National Centre for Aesthetics (NCA) invites Iranian and Georgian independent

artists and art organisation representatives to submit project proposals for “NCA Cultural

Crossroad:Visit of modern artists from Georgia and Iran” program, which is implemented

in collaboration with partner organisations in Georgia and Iran. The program is supported by

the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of the Republic of Armenia.

The aim of the “NCA Cultural Crossroad:Visit of modern artists from Georgia and Iran”

program is to strengthen intercultural ties between the neighbouring countries and establish

new partnerships, by providing the participant artists with an opportunity to share their rich

cultural heritage and traditions through short-term artistic projects. The participants will get

acquainted with the cultural similarities and differences of Armenia, Georgia and Iran.

The program will be implemented at National Centre for Aesthetics’ subdivisions in Yerevan

and regions of Armenia - Tavush, Shirak, Lori, Gegharkunik, Syunik (10 days in Yerevan and

10 days in the regions), enabling the art loving communities of remote regions to meet and

work with international artists and help them to have a better understanding of the Armenian

people and the life in the regions. The selected projects will be matched with NCA subdivisions

taking into consideration their conformity with the areas of expertise of NCA subdivisions. The

project outputs (exhibitions, open lessons, presentations, small-scale concerts, short

performances) will be presented in Yerevan.
