Creative Armenia is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2026 Creative Innovation Fellowship. Supported by the Vahé Fattal Fund in partnership with L’Œuvre d'Orient, this 10-month program will provide five artists with €5,000 in funding, expert-led workshops, and one-on-one mentorships to bring their cutting-edge projects to life.
The 2026 Fellowship cohort brings together artists working at the forefront of creative innovation: multidisciplinary artist Vanane Borian, cinematographer and visual artist Suren Tadevosyan, art and documentary photographer Davit Nersisyan, sound artist Kai (Karen) Khachatryan, and producer, composer, and sound designer Shahen Khandkaryan.
The fellows will spend the next 10 months developing ambitious projects and exploring new possibilities across their respective fields. Joining the 2025 cohort, the five fellows will become part of an expanding community of artists shaping new approaches to creative practice.
Now in its second year, the Creative Innovation Fellowship supports artists across all disciplines, from visual arts and music to digital media and fashion, working at the intersection of art and technology.
