ALMA to host annual Family Day on March 18

The Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) will transform into an exciting children's center for ALMA's annual Family Day on Sunday, March 18.

The event is open to all families looking for an afternoon packed with fun-filled activities and excitement, ALMA said in a press release.

ALMA's Contemporary Art Galleries will be transformed into one big playground featuring a broad range of engaging activity stations that teach children about the life, history and culture of the Armenian people. ALMA curators Susan and Gary Lind-Sinanian will teach children and their family basic steps to traditional Armenian dances.

At the colorful "Costume Corner", children will have an opportunity to try on vibrant traditional Armenian costumes. An assortment of paint, crayons, crafts paper, colored pencils and other supplies will be provided to those who will prefer to practice their art skills at the "Craft Center".
