About NAI
The "Naregatsi" Art Institute, incorporated in 2002, is a non-profit
organization dedicated to serving Armenia's existing cultural
heritage through supporting Armenian contemporary artists
and creating a forum in which the spirit of art and the common
voice can resonate freely.
By nurturing the expression of human creativity
and documenting artistic accomplishments, "Naregatsi" Art Institute
seeks to enrich the understanding and the exposure of Armenian
art today, the ancestry from which this art has stemmed, and
the future which creativity, social consciousness, and collaborative
energy will lead to.
"Naregatsi" Art Institute (NAI) is dedicated to
serving the spirit of art, and in doing so sets forth objectives
and goals based upon nobility and benevolence found at the
heart of the artistic aim.
The 11th century poet and thinker Krikor Naregatsi, whose sense of spiritual
purity serves as a source of guidance, inspires our approach. By supporting and
nurturing contemporaryArmenian artists we seek to preserve and strengthen our consecrated
culture, which has the potential to exist as vividly in the present as it did in historic dimensions.
We believe that the voice of art is one that surmounts spatialand time based definitions,
and it is through the resonance of this voice that we seek to pay tribute to our cultural past,
while making our way into the future.
