Aram Manoukian grew up surrounded by diverse art and culture, which inspired him to help young and unrecognized artists to promote their talent and vision. In 2000, Aram Manoukian opened Revo Art and Jazz Café in Glendale, California. The facility featured daily art exhibits of various artists from different ethnic backgrounds, contemporary and mainstream jazz musicians provided the background music. Revo Art and Jazz Café have donated proceeds from sales to charity in support of Hurricane Katrina victims, the Red Cross, and various home shelters. Revo Art and Jazz Café have also conducted free art classes for kids to instill in our youth early art appreciation.
