Levon Khechoyan’s “trace” in the activities initiated by K. Hovhannisyan, S. Tankian and others (video)
Seven years ago, when writer Levon Khechoyan was still alive, he had his investment in the establishment of “Creative Armenia” organization. Writer, screenwriter Karin Hovhannisyan, who at that time in resort in Tsaghkadzor was working on his novel, from time to time was having a walk with Levon Khechoyan. Today Karin Hovhannisyan recalled Khechoyan’s comparison between an art worker and a bee. According to the writer, as a bee flies from a flower to flower by gathering nectar, an art worker does the same. By founding “Creative Armenia”, authors want to gather the talented people in Armenia and present them to the world. The official launch of the organization founded by Karin Hovhannisyan took place in May, 2017 in the USA. Today already in Yerevan, “Creative Armenia” officially started its activities, launching a number of programs. The starting step of the organization is the series of creative challenges. And the first challenge is shooting a 60 seconds’ film about human rights and getting a chance to win USD 5000. The deadline is July 31. The participation of citizens of Armenia and Artsakh is free. Art workers, political figures, ambassadors were taking part in the ceremony held in Yerevan. To remind, “Creative Armenia” was established as a result of cooperation of The Promise, Gulbenkian Foundation and an unknown philanthropist. Grammy winner musician Serj Tankian is also in the Founding Council.
