YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. An exhibition-sale of works by pupils of "Veratsnund" ("Revival") art school of Italian district of the town of Spitak opened on November 4 in Yerevan. Needleworks, embroidery, ceramic works were presented at the exhibition. The "Veratsnund" art school was founded in 1994 by Antonio Montalto, Honorable Consul of Italy to Gyumri, Chairman of the "Care for Family" NGO. According to him, the creation of the art school was a valuable contribution to childrens' life as they have limited possibilities to express their own attitude. Besides, as he mentioned, it became a center of hope for people who remained alone with their psychological problems after the destructive earthquake, experiencing unemployment and hard living conditions. A spinning circle opened in 2001 in the art school and a carpet section was founded in 2004. The gain from the exhibition-sale will be used for buying materials necessary for school's activity.
