October 29, 2019, Yerevan. Within the scope of the events dedicated to the 10th Anniversary of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts (CCA), the Center presented the exhibition, Art Studio, realized with the support of Beeline at the National Gallery of Armenia Yeghegnadzor branch on October 26. The exhibition will be open until November 14.

CCA presented the exhibition created as a result of the Cafesjian Teen Council's Art Studio educational project.  It was launched at CCA back in February-June 2018, continuing at UWC Dilijan College and TUMO Gyumri in 2019. The photostory features ten contemporary Armenian artists and their studios, where the artists' creative environment and its diversity are revealed through the eyes of the Cafesjian Teen Council members.

"The Cafesjian Teen Council members always initiate and implement interesting and creative projects. The Art Studio project stands out among those. We are delighted to present the exhibition, created as a result of that project, in different regions of Armenia. We are grateful to our permanent partner Beeline, whose support enables us to implement such unique projects. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Arman Tsaturyan, Director of the National Gallery of Armenia, for the cooperation," stated Vahagn Marabyan, Acting Executive Director of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts.

"The Cafesjian Center for the Arts is doing an important job of supporting young people in their first steps in the sphere of art. It is crucial that it not be confined within Yerevan and for the other regions of Armenia to be involved in the process – both as participants and audience. We are happy to be a part of this and support the young artists’ growth and development as much as we can", - mentioned Beeline Armenia CEO Andrey Pyatakhin.

The CCA and Beeline have been cooperating since 2011. In the frames of this long-term cooperation, teen, family and other educational programs with a focus on children's and teenagers' aesthetic education are regularly implemented at the Center.
