Michael Aram
WEST HOLLYWOOD—Over 300 guests attended an exclusive event hosted by world renowned artist Michael Aram on November 11 at his newly opened West Hollywood flagship store to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the American University of Armenia. Proceeds from the shopping event will benefit scholarship funds supporting students with financial need. Aram graciously signed purchased pieces while meeting with guests. Event sponsors included Karas Wines, Anoush Catering, and Cado Mart.
An active member of the Armenian-American community, Aram frequently draws upon his heritage when creating his collections. For almost three decades, he has honed his skills to create his signature, sculpted designs in metal, which capture the beauty, significance, and unpredictability of nature. His work combines the imperfections inherent in the handmade process with the perfectly imperfect beauty of nature to create objects that reflect humanity.
