Providence Hamazkayin

The Providence Chapter of the Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and Cultural Society is a dedicated cultural organization serving the Rhode Island diaspora as a local branch of the Hamazkayin USA Eastern Region. Originally founded in October 1994, its central purpose is to advance education, cultivate intellectual life, and preserve the language and rich artistic traditions of the global Armenian heritage. Frequently operating out of local centers like the Sts. Vartanantz Armenian Apostolic Church, the chapter anchors its community through diverse public events, including art exhibitions, global humanitarian benefits, literary book tours, traditional poetry readings, and youth programs like the Providence Artsakh Dance Group.
