See, hear, feel, and experience what everyone has been touting as the event of the year and possibly the decade--the Smithsonian Folklife Festival featuring the "Armenia: Creating Home" series of performances, with on-site artisans, dancers, carpet weavers, sculptors, chefs, bakers and so much more...!!! Washington DC became the convergence point for a confluence of artists and artisans from across the globe, coming together to celebrate life and our ancient, yet so very vibrant, cultural expressions and legacies... Our own Armenian Rugs Society members Hratch Kozibeyokian and Levon Der Bedrossian, as well as our dear colleagues from FOLK ARTS HUB FOUNDATION in Armenia, participated in this amazing display, representing our culture in all its forms...

Please be sure to visit our SMITHSONIAN and FESTIVAL VIDEOS pages, as well as the direct links to the SMITHSONIAN FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL and other fascinating content to experience some of the most amazing and inspiring people and performances ever...!   

You can also access the latest article regarding the resurgence of the ancient Armenian rug weaving tradition, featuring Hratch Kozibeyokian and master rug weavers from Armenia, here, at SMITHSONIAN.COM...
