Saturday December 6 th at 5.30 pm we gathered at Sirvart and Kevork Hovnanian Hall at Saint Stepanos Armenian Church in Long Branch for a family movie night and potluck dinner.
Contrary to the bad weather we were over sixty guests savoring a lavish dinner of home made food and deserts prepared by the ladies. After enjoying the delicious food we all settled down to watch “The Soulworld” by Karen Avedisyan.
Before the movie Mr. Corbett McCarthy gave a speech about Arshile Gorky, the famous painter, his short life on this earth , his work , and how thirty one art works were found in a folder from an estate clean out.
These art works are displayed in Spring Lake Gallery, Spring Lake, New Jersey.
After the speech the movie was presented. It was an educational and informative movie. Everyone was so absorbed and quiet watching it, you could hear a pin drop.
The producer did a wonderful job putting together the story of Artzakh. We all enjoyed very much the evening and hopefully it will be presented once again for those who missed it. We really had a very memorable night.
