Your Cultural Connection to Armenia

Naregatsi Art Institute (NAI) is a non-profit art organization established in 2000 with headquarters in Yerevan since 2004 and an educational art center in Shushi since 2006. Founded by philanthropist Nareg Hartounian and named after Saint Gregory of Narek, the NAI’s principle mission is to preserve and promote Armenian art, culture and spiritual values. 

Since its inception, the NAI each year has presented more than 300 concerts, exhibitions, lectures, master classes and film screenings collaborating with a great number of artists from Armenia and abroad. As part of its contribution to Armenian culture, NAI has created numerous unique books, CD’s and publications exploring various facets of the rich Armenian cultural heritage. 

The NAI is home to The Naregatsi Orchestra, The Nova Children’s Ensemble (each of which presents concerts locally and internationally), The Njdeh Folk Dance Group and The Painting Class after Sevan Naccashian. 

The Art Center in Shushi provides a variety of classes in music (including piano, bard songs class, choir), as well as instructions in painting, wood engraving, photography, theater, puppet theater, dance, recitation, carpet making, English language, art therapy, computer graphics and designing. Naregatsi Shushi also provides its own unique series of presentations and cultural events.

The NAI provides a special place for children, emerging artists, artists with disabilities and artists living in the regions of Armenia outside of Yerevan. It also provides space and resources to anyone with something of artistic value to share.

All activities at the NAI are free of charge for both the audience and featured talent."
