The Armenian American Museum hosted a community forum on Sunday, January 17, 2016, 2 PM, at the St. Gregory Armenian Catholic Church’s Raymond and Ani Kouyoumjian Hall: 1510 East Mountain Street, Glendale, CA 91207. The event provided a presentation on the mission of the Armenian American Museum, gave an overview on the current status of the project, and provided an opportunity for community-driven feedback.
This marked the third public forum the Armenian American Museum has hosted as a part of its community outreach program. In January of 2016, presentations were held at the Glendale Kiwanis Club, in addition to two community forums which hosted strong attendance from local residents. The organization will continue to meet with a broad range of stakeholder groups and extend outreach efforts in smaller group settings to share the vision for the Museum.
The Armenian American Museum is a developing project in Glendale, CA, with a mission to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Armenian American experience. When completed, it will serve as a cultural campus that enriches the community, educates the public on the Armenian American story, and empowers individuals to embrace cultural diversity and speak out against prejudice.
The governing board of the Armenian American Museum consists of representatives from the following nine regional Armenian American institutions and organizations: Armenian Catholic Eparchy, Armenian Cultural Foundation, Armenian Evangelical Union of North America, Armenian General Benevolent Union – Western District, Armenian Relief Society – Western USA, Nor Or Charitable Foundation, Nor Serount Cultural Association, Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America, and Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
