2. Naregatsi Art Institute in Shushi
The NAI Shoushi center was inaugurated in September of 2006. The 3 storied building has a concert hall, an exhibition hall, a library, various classrooms, an artist's guest house, etc. The center also has an open air amphitheater, where outdoor concerts are organized. The center offers painting, needlework, poetry, miniature painting, dance and theater classes and more than 135 students. The NAI Shoushi center also has the Knar Summer camp. It is planed to, in the future also built a separate theater adjacent to the art institute.
The NAI Shoushi center has been built with special accessibility for the physically challenged giving artists and audiences in wheelchairs equal opportunities to partake in all Naregatsi events.
Shoushi, as a cultural center, holds a special place in Armenian history. Today liberated Shoushi is still reviving from the consequences of war and it should be the duty of each and every Armenian to help the revitalization of the city and its cultural renaissance. The NAI Shoushi center serves this very purpose and we are confident that it will play an important role in the development of the cultural live of this medieval fortress city and will mark the beginning of a new page in history. We hope NAI Shoushi will become a bridge linking the Republic of Armenia- Artsakh and the Armenian Diaspora.
