California’s most anticipated evening of the year, the Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center Heritage Gala, is set for Saturday, Nov. 22 at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown with reservations, sponsorships and program book ad opportunities now open.

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening featuring live on-stage entertainment, an inspiring program recognizing distinguished honorees and a celebration of a historic milestone as the museum nears completion. With the structural framework now standing and the curation of the permanent exhibition officially underway, the gala will mark a transformative chapter for the cultural and educational landmark.

The permanent exhibition will celebrate the story of the Armenian people from ancient beginnings to the modern-day contributions, offering an immersive look at the resilience, influence and cultural identity of the Armenian American community.

“We are excited to invite you to the Heritage Gala, a celebration that reflects the rich heritage and enduring legacy of the Armenian American community,” said Executive Chairman Berdj Karapetian. “As the museum’s framework stands tall and the curation of the permanent exhibition begins, we see more than a building taking shape. We see a symbol of our shared history, culture and the profound contributions Armenians have made to the world, rising as a testament to resilience and unity.”

Following the formal program, guests will transition to a lively post-reception to close the night featuring a live DJ and a cigar bar.

The Armenian American Museum is a world class educational and cultural institution that is currently under construction in the museum campus at Glendale Central Park. The museum will offer a wide range of public programming through the permanent exhibition, temporary exhibitions, auditorium, Learning Center, demonstration kitchen, Archives Center, and more.

Heritage Gala sponsorship, program book ads and ticket reservations are due by Oct. 27.
