FOLK ARTS HUB FOUNDATION

About the organisation

The Folk Arts Hub Educational and Cultural Foundation, founded in 2014 by Levon Der Bedrossian, an avid Armenian fabric collector, is dedicated to preserving and promoting Armenian folk cultural values. The foundation strives to not only safeguard these traditions but also facilitate their growth.

Our foundation's primary goal is the revitalization of traditional folk art, with a specific emphasis on traditional weaving, fostering a creative approach to handicrafts among the younger generation. Special attention is given to the visual arts, particularly through the creation of short documentaries. Till now the foundation educated more than 2300 children and adults from all over Armenia.
