Naregatsi Art Institute

Naregatsi Art Institute is a nonprofit arts center in Yerevan that runs resident theatre, music, and dance groups and keeps a public calendar of concerts, exhibitions, and talks. It was founded by Narek Harutyunyan and is registered in the United States as a 501(c)(3), with a second center in Shushi, a town in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

The Yerevan center hosts Rotonda Theatre, the Naregatsi Folk Instruments Orchestra, the Nova Folk Instruments Ensemble, a children's painting class, and the Knar spiritual and folk songs group. Two earlier groups, the Njdeh folk dance group and the NAI Choir, are no longer active. The center is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00.

Upcoming listings on the institute's calendar include a photo exhibition, a scientific-documentary film premiere, and a session on Hamshen history, music, and dance, alongside recurring concerts by the resident orchestra and ensembles.

The center is in Yerevan, roughly 1 km east-southeast of the city center (straight-line).
