The public was invited to participate in painting a 5 meter long banner designed and manned by Hye Art artists Beatrice Manoukian and Hagop Bahlav.

Hye Art was also invited by the City of Monash to display in the Community Information Centre about the Armenian community and culture living in Monash.
Hye Art committee member, Mr. Souren Zarmanian who organised and manned this area, displayed information about the Armenians in Australia, the Armenian culture, heritage, including some rare stamps, coins, maps, the Armenian alphabet.
Joining Hye Art was The Azad Gharibian Dance Group and the Gilligia band who performed on the main stage.
The Festival was a great success where other community groups were represented in the City of Monash.

Hye Art wishes to thank the Armenian Community members who came to the Festival to celebrate and make it a very special day.

We wish to thank the City of Monash, in particular, Elissa Bates, the co-ordinator of Cultural events in Monash, for inviting Hye Art to participate in this Festival.
