Yerevan Biennial Art Foundation

The Yerevan Biennial Art Foundation (YBAF) is committed to an all-encompassing approach to establishing a creative ecosystem. YBAF’s activity is primarily directed at local artists and is aimed to engage international audiences physically and digitally. We would like to think of ourselves as an initiative that Armenians are proud of and people of the diaspora and international audiences are curious about. Central to the role of YBAF is the implementation of formal and informal education particularly in relation to the arts and creative industries, with a strong mission to support local Armenian Artists. The Foundation has been established to develop and execute initiatives all year long. YBAF has annual programs as well as one-time projects.
