About Cafesjian Center for the Arts

The Cafesjian Center for the Arts occupies the Cascade, a 572-step complex first conceived by architect Alexander Tamanyan. Gerard Cafesjian began its revitalisation in 2002 with the city and the Armenian government, and the centre opened in November 2009. It shows modern and contemporary art and runs lectures, films, concerts and educational programmes.
