“The ‘World Armenian Entertainment Awards’ is unique, and the first event of its kind,” says Garbis Titizian, Founder of Global Arts International and the brains behind the benevolent undertaking aimed at promoting and preserving cultural unity and identity. “Performing arts manifest within an individual, community and nation.

As the leaders of our community humbly have accepted our invitation for this landmark night, our creative team and production promise to deliver on this once-in-a-generation occasion.”
