Dear Friend,
Greetings from the Armenian Museum of America!
As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, please join us in toasting the vision and perseverance of our founders who built and stewarded the largest collections of Armenian artifacts in the Diaspora.
The challenges we have all faced during the pandemic have shown that we are resilient. Our dedicated team of professionals at the Museum have been updating our galleries with objects from our collection in anticipation of the day when we would be able to welcome you back. That day has finally come, and we could not be more thrilled!
One of our goals in celebrating this milestone is to dramatically increase the Museum’s membership. We are reaching out to members, donors, visitors, and friends of the Museum to participate in this membership drive.
As a special incentive, and in honor of this special anniversary year, a donor has generously offered to match the sum of all new and renewed memberships made throughout 2021. We hope you will join this exciting matching membership challenge!
Membership offers a range of benefits (click here for details) and allows us to continue our mission to preserve, protect, and share our collection and cultural programs with people around the world.
We reopened in June with revamped galleries including the “art, culture, eternity” exhibition on our first floor and new contemporary art exhibits on our third floor. We look forward to welcoming you back and hope you will remain engaged with our online programs including concerts, monthly exhibitions, digitized music from our record collection, and weekly Show and Tell videos with our curator!
We hope you will become a part of the Armenian Museum family (click here to join).
Our Mission is more important now than ever, especially as Armenians are facing ethnic cleansing and cultural erasure in Artsakh. Your membership today will support the preservation of Armenian heritage and culture in perpetuity.
Respectfully yours,
Jason Sohigian
Executive Director
