  Want your establishment to be the top-listed Arts & Entertainment in Dilijan?

Urvakan is an Armenian word for ghost, phantom or spirit. The inspiration behind the name lays in our interest to the country’s abandoned and deserted sites and their ambiguous state of being neither completely ruined, nor alive, as they were decades ago. In a bold attempt to bringing it back to life, some of these locations will be turned into one-of-a-kind city centers of cultural attraction by becoming venues for the festival’s varicolored music program. Backed by public talks and discussions, site-specific art installations and exhibitions, food market and many more, these sites will hopefully get festival visitors inspired by their uncanny beauty and encourage to discover their hidden potential, yet to be realized.

Urvakan music program blends together ongoing projects of more than 80 artists from 22 countries, highlighting current trends in sonic arts, contemporary electronic, instrumental, avant pop and club music. The festival also aims to stimulate exchange between local musicians and established artists, curators and independent music industry professionals from around the world. Hence, we hope that Urvakan will become a fully-functional platform representing some of the best talents across styles, genres and scenes of Armenia, ex-USSR and Middle East countries, whose distinctive voices are still being excluded from the global music scenarios. ________________________________________________________________
