Art, culture, and lifelong learning through travel
LECTURE SERIES
Artblazing Tours offers a series of engaging Zoom lectures, presented by Sevan Melikyan, designed to illuminate the cultural and historical context of each tour destination. These 90-minute sessions are complimentary for registered trip participants and open to "armchair travelers" who may register for individual lectures or the full series through our Lecture Registration page. All lectures are recorded, and a link to the recording is provided within 48 hours for anyone who missed the session or wishes to watch it again.
