Since 1970, Pedros Malayan was a member of the Soviet Artist Association's "Commission on Watercolor" (Chudsovet), in which he represented Armenia. He also curated the Plain-Airs of Water-color in Siktivkar, Russia in 1978 and in Yerevan, Armenia in 1987. Throughout the years Pedros Malayan's paintings were exhibited, along with the works of fellow Armenian artists, in the former Czechoslovakia, Austria, Cuba, Canada, Poland, Belgium, Syria, Egypt, Bulgaria, the United States and the Annual Exhibition of Armenian Artists in Yerevan, Armenia. He presented a number of personal exhibits in Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Canada and Armenia, and his paintings today can be found in a variety of private collections and various museums across Europe.

In 1983 he received the title of "Honored Artist of the Armenian Republic", and in 1990 was awarded a Professorship as the Chair of Drawing at the Yerevan Art Institute of Armenia.

In the Spring of 1993 and after a long illness, he and his family were forced to leave Armenia - where he was unable to receive proper medical treatment - and move to Tel Aviv, Israel. Despite his illness, he never abandoned his craft and continued working until his last moments.

† Pedros Malayan died of a stroke on the 17th of March, 1997, and is buried in Kibuttz Einat cemetery, near Rosh-Ha-Ayin, Israel.
