NECC ArtSpace features Images of Armenia by Tom Vartabedian

Friday Tom Vartabedian and Linda Germain hung the Armenian Village people exhibit @ the ArtSpace @ Bentley Library at the Haverhill Campus of Northern Essex Community College.

Tom's passion for his native land can easily be experienced by the viewer. There is a story behind every image and face. Ask one question about a photograph, and Tom will tell a story that makes you want to go to Armenia. This exhibit has already received tremendous exposure inside the Armenian community throughout Greater Boston, and this will be a first showing in the non-Armenian venue. Next, it moves to Merrimack College in March and the Haverhill Public Library in April.

Plan to attend:

Artist's Reception: Thursday, February 12, 2009 from 5PM to 8PM Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and all are welcome.
