BOSTON, Mass.—From Sept. 24 to Dec. 31, OneWorld Classrooms, a non-profit dedicated to building bridges between local and global classrooms through art and technology, will present a free exhibit to showcase children’s art from Armenia and the rest of the world.
The exhibit will be on display at the Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) at 65 Main St. in Watertown. An opening ceremony will be held on Sept. 24 from 2-5 p.m., and will include refreshments and a student art raffle/auction.
“The International Art Exchange is really a unique way to get students to interact and connect with other children from different cultures around the world, through art. When we saw the talent that some of these kids have and the uniqueness of the art work, we decided to display it for a larger audience to see it,” said OneWorld Classrooms Board member and exhibit organizer Zela Astarjian.
OneWorld Classrooms is presenting this exhibit as part of its ongoing mission to give students in the U.S. the ability to share, collaborate, and explore with their global peers, as well as to gain the skills, knowledge, and cultural awareness they need to improve their academic achievement and become globally competent individuals.
Founded in 1971, ALMA holds over 20,000 artifacts and 27,000 titles. It also offers exhibits and cultural programs to the community. For more information, visit www.almainc.org or call (617) 926-2562.
