Angels for Armenia
The Arts
Armenian art is well known for its intricate carvings, jewelry, and paintings. They also excel in ceramics, textiles, and sculpture. The influence of Armenian culture is evident in the vibrant colors, shapes, and designs used in their artwork. The Armenian church also plays an important role in Armenian art, as the country is home to many ancient churches and monasteries that are decorated with beautiful frescoes, mosaics, and sculptures. Armenia's agricultural style influenced many other buildings around the world. These works of art have been preserved for centuries and serve as a reminder of the country's rich artistic heritage.
Armenian music is highly regarded, blending traditional elements with more modern elements. Traditional instruments such as the duduk, kanun, and oud are still used in many performances, while more modern influences have given rise to a variety of genres, such as jazz, rock, and pop. The country also has a long history of dance, with traditional Armenian dances such as the tamzara, horo, and choban being performed in many ceremonies and celebrations. Many of these dances are now being performed at international festivals, showcasing the beauty and skill of Armenian dancers. The Armenian diaspora has also produced dances, mixing with the local cultures. One example is the Michigan Hop, a popular dance among American-Armenian teens.

The showcases put on by Sushi Dance Ensemble are awe-inspiring and they send a liberating message to their audience.
