Portraits of Nations by Seta Injeyan
2026-05-08 19:00 - 2026-05-10 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Center for Armenian Arts, Glendale, California, 250 N. Orange St., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Portraits of Nations, an exhibition by Seta Injeyan, exploring identity, emotion, and collective presence through abstract visual language.
In this body of work, color and movement become carriers of atmosphere and symbolic meaning. Through layered compositions, circular forms, and dynamic fields of color, the artist creates visual impressions that suggest the spirit, energy, and emotional resonance of nations beyond literal representation.
Rather than depicting geography or political form, Portraits of Nations approaches identity through mood, rhythm, and abstraction — inviting viewers to experience how color, space, and gesture can evoke memory, belonging, and cultural presence.
Each work offers a contemplative encounter where abstract form becomes a portrait not of faces, but of emotional and collective character.
The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how nations may be sensed, remembered, and imagined through visual feeling.
We warmly invite you to join us for three days of art, reflection, and conversation.
Opening night: Friday, May 8, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Exhibition continues: Saturday, May 9, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Roots and Reflections by Jack Latirofian
2026-06-05 19:00 - 2026-06-06 18:00
The Center for Armenian Arts is pleased to present Roots and Reflections, an exhibition by Jack Latirofian, exploring identity, memory, and contemporary portraiture through expressive color and visual immediacy.
In this exhibition, portrait becomes more than likeness — it becomes a space where inner presence, personal history, and cultural resonance meet. Through bold color relationships, fluid line work, and layered visual energy, the artist creates images that suggest both individuality and deeper reflection.
The title Roots and Reflections evokes a dialogue between origin and self-awareness, between inherited memory and present identity. Each work carries a sense of movement between what shapes us and how we come to see ourselves within that inheritance.
The exhibition invites viewers to engage with portraiture as both image and emotional field, where color and gesture reveal dimensions beyond the visible surface.
We warmly invite you to join us for two evenings of art, reflection, and conversation.
Opening night: Friday, June 5, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Exhibition continues: Saturday, June 6, 2026 | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Armenian Arts invites you to Silk Passion, a captivating exhibition by artist Nazani, presenting a new exploration in fine art through the medium of silk painting.
Blending delicate craftsmanship with contemporary artistic vision, Nazani’s work transforms silk into a vibrant canvas where color, movement, and texture come alive. The fluid nature of silk allows pigments to flow and merge in unexpected ways, creating luminous compositions that feel both spontaneous and deeply expressive.

Silk Passion represents a new chapter in fine art practice, where traditional techniques meet modern artistic expression. The exhibition highlights the remarkable possibilities of silk painting as a medium capable of conveying emotion, elegance, and visual harmony.
We invite you to experience this feast for the senses and immerse yourself in a world of color, light, and texture.
