Artsakh Culture

We awarded grants to 5 projects which promote and preserve the culture of Artsakh. The first recipient was the “Tsil Puppet Studio” in Gyumri. Led by Armen Kaprielyan, originally from Shushi, the studio is a wonderful place for children. They provide a variety of lessons such as puppet making, arts and crafts, ceramics, as well as therapy sessions for the children. Lorik Fund has a long relationship with the studio and have put on over 50 shows in different villages across Armenia and Artsakh. We are providing 3 months of rent for their newly opened studio in Gyumri. Cost is $500 per month. We also helped furnish the studio and purchase necessary equipment like sewing machines.

If you are interested in supporting the studios activities let me know.

Thank you for your continued support. We have one chance at this, 150,000 innocent people suffered ethnic cleansing and if we don’t act today their culture, traditions, and the Artsakhtsis as a people will disappear and be forgotten.

Thank you
