“Armenian Art at Gallery Z” is inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Armenia and Zobian’s extensive career background. Zobian has spent over three decades as an artist, art dealer, and curator specializing both in Armenian fine art and contemporary fine art. He has been immersed in New England’s vibrant local Armenian community, participating in many public Armenian-related projects and curating exhibitions tying Armenian art and artists to their heritage and history.
Zobian started his career in 1975 as a photographer in New York. In 1983, after moving to Providence, R.I., he established and opened his own studio while continuing to curate art exhibitions for nearly 18 years in local businesses and pop-up galleries. He opened Gallery Z in 2001, releasing projects such as “Moby” the ArtMobile in 2012 and Studio Z in 2013, all located in Providence. Gallery Z and Studio Z are members of Gallery Night Providence, the Providence Warwick Convention Visitors Bureau, and the Federal Hill Commerce Association. Gallery Z has been awarded the title of “Best Gallery of Rhode Island” by Rhode Island Monthly magazine for three consecutive years (2011, 2012, and 2013).

To date, Gallery Z has represented and showcased more than 300 artists, and held more than 150 exhibitions.
