Khachkar Studios is an affiliate of the Charles & Agnes Kazarian Foundation, JI-Analytics, and Japonica Partners, which provide financial, analytical, and strategic backing. Distribution occurs through Zoom-based masterclasses, mobile apps, podcast platforms, direct email, and high-visibility print advertising in major U.S. publications including the New York Times and Los Angeles Times.
