The AYF New York “Hyortik”, Manhattan “Moush” and ANC-NY Chapters hosted their third annual New York Vernissage fundraiser event on Saturday, December 9, 2023, from 1-5 p.m. at St. Sarkis Church in Douglaston, NY.
Although Vernissage has previously been hosted in New York City during the springtime, we fruitfully introduced our first Winter Vernissage in Queens this holiday season. With over 100 people in attendance, we continue to appreciate the cultural accomplishments of our local Armenian brands selling goods such as apparel, accessories, food, art and more. All proceeds from the event, which amounted to over $1,500, are to be donated to ARS’s Artsakh Relief Fund.
Considering our vendors’ incredible creations, some of which have been handmade by fellow Armenians, Vernissage continues to hold a special place in the AYF community’s heart. Both “Hyortik” and “Moush” members recognize how this event not only strengthens bonds in our neighborhood but also unites vendors from different states and underscores the significance of helping our fellow Armenians.
If you are interested in participating in future Vernissage events as a vendor, please contact newyork@ayf.org for more information. We look forward to hosting another successful NY Vernissage next year along with our members of the Greater New York community!
