Iranian- American artists are a driving force in building-bridges and creating communities across divides. By disseminating the works of contemporary Iranian-American artists to diverse audiences, Aftab believes that they can help artists to grow, thrive and connect. Since Aftab’s founding, the organization has been successful in its goal of enhancing public awareness of Iranian-American artists and art through exhibitions, film screenings, and other art events in Washington, D.C. and New York City. The Aftab Committee’s vision is to create a platform that will support and celebrate all artists through a polycultural lens. What fuels our success and challenges us? Passion.
