The Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) will transform into
an exciting children's center for ALMA's annual Family Day on Sunday,
March 20. The free event will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. and is open
to all families looking for an afternoon packed with fun-filled
activities and excitement.
ALMA's Contemporary Art Galleries will be transformed into one big
playground featuring a broad range of engaging activity stations that
teach children about the life, history and culture of the Armenian
people.
Storyteller David Elizian will bring traditional Armenian children's
stories to life with his trunk of hats and props. Elizian, who is an
actor trained in Yerevan, has been active teaching dramatic arts in
Boston-area Armenian schools for many years.
At the colorful "Costume Corner", children will have an opportunity to
try on vibrant traditional Armenian costumes. An assortment of paint,
crayons, crafts paper, colored pencils and other supplies will be
provided to those who will prefer to practice their art skills at the
"Craft Center". At the end of the program ALMA curators Susan and Gary
Lind-Sinanian will teach children and their family basic steps to
traditional Armenian dances. Also, don't miss out on these and other
exciting activities like face painting!
And in order to keep up the energy, a delicious snack station will be
provided with varieties of pizza, cookies and other kid-friendly
finger foods.
