The Persian Arts Festival is a not-for-profit, arts and cultural organization whose mission is to highlight the magnificence and diversity of Persian art and culture with the community at large. Our goal is to support and showcase emerging and established artists, voices and visionaries of today while honoring ancient Persian traditions & holidays like Norooz, the Persian New Year, which corresponds to the Spring Equinox. Norooz is observed in more than seven Middle Eastern countries, parts of Central Asia and here in the U.S. With the growing population of Persians in the United States, the culture is very much alive and a valuable contribution to society overall. We are truly providing a unique opportunity for our local and global community to gather and explore one of the world’s most ancient and rich civilizations as well as presenting a platform for interaction, progressive communication and perspective through art.
The goals and activities of the Persian Arts Festival (PAF) are to produce an annual festival of special events based in New York City that incorporate, but are not limited to, fine art, music, film, comedy, educational and engaging workshops, non-political or religiously motivated panel discussions, family-focused activities and perhaps one of the most defining aspects of the culture, cuisine.
We are an intimate team of very passionate individuals with diverse ethnic backgrounds and experiences. We are spending 2007 building the foundation and raising money for our future events and activities. We are always available via email! | |
