As far as cultural events are concerned, August is generally considered to be the “dead” month of the year. But if you're stuck in Yerevan and the soul does want to escape somewhere else, even for just an hour or so, then some of those events might just prove to be the ticket.
With the Golden Apricot Film Festival behind us, many in Yerevan might have a case of a cultural overdose. But the capital's art pulse shows no sign of slowing down and the next two weeks are absolutely packed with events to either calm or rattle your jaded senses.
The cultural high point of the year is definitely peaking in the next couple of weeks with the opening of the 21st Golden Apricot International Film Festival with its usual roster of must-see films and... uhum... controversial guests. Finding the gems, or maybe the guilty pleasures in this whirlwind of activities can be a challenge, so hopefully this guide can be of some help.

To help you navigate the vibrant art scene, we're putting together a short bi-weekly digest of the best that the capital has on offer for the art-going public and visitors.
