Overview

Ziya has devised three main programs to carry its mission. These programs include Art Education, Art Exhibition, and Art & Culture Seasons. All of these programs are planned to foster cultural and ethnic awareness and to encourage the dialogue between the art of SAMENA (South Asia, Middle East, North Africa) and other forms of art.

 

Ziya executes its program in partnership with other nonprofit, cultural, and educational partners. Some of the examples of Ziya’s activities are Arabopersian calligraphy classes and exhibitions, traditional Turkish music with Mevlevi performance in partnership with Mevlevi Order of America, screening Michel Wolfe’s award winning film called “Islamic Art: The Mirror to Invisible World” in partnership with Zawaya, and book reading sessions in partnership with ICCNC.
