Protect ARTsakh, a charity art auction for Artsakh, presented 78 lots by 60 multidisciplinary artists from four continents – featuring paintings, photography, sculpture, illustration, textile, and even jewelry. All proceeds went towards those impacted by the situation in Artsakh (otherwise known as Nagorno-Karabakh).

Organized by Bardakjian Art, as well as Lara Arslanian (Belgium) and Sarine Semerjian (Syria), and under the patronage of the Arslanian Foundation, this auction had the objective of raising funds for the ongoing humanitarian relief efforts towards the Armenian families who had recently fled the Caucasus region of Artsakh following its handover to Azerbaijan. Beyond the immediate financial relief, we also hoped this charity art auction would raise awareness of the dire situation in Armenia and Artsakh.
