Accepted Artists for Iranian Arts Now
Ziya Art Center is thrilled to announce the selected artists of the “Iranian Arts Now” second international exhibition. This year we received over 500 art submissions from over 200 artists living all over the world including Iran, Turkey, Tajikistan, Egypt, Malaysia, Ukraine, Canada, and various states in the US including California, Arizona, Illinois, and Connecticut. The submissions included a wide assortment of medium including painting, drawing, photography, calligraphy, sculpture, wood work, illustration, crafts, collage, digital art, installation, and mixed media. We also received a wide variety of artistic expressions and styles from traditional and folk art and crafts to modern and contemporary styles.
The “Iranian Arts Now” exhibition is a showcase of the outstanding examples of the very diverse expressions of the contemporary Iranian artists and the arts inspired by it around the world. We hope to foster a conversation both among the artists themselves and between the artists and the general public, so that the commonalities and differences in the Iranian expressions can be explored and communicated.
Our 2015 exhibition will be a digital representation of over 100 selected artworks to be showcased at the Neekon festival on September 26, 2015 at De Young Museum in San Francisco, California. Moreover, all the 214 accepted artworks will be showcased on the online exhibition of Ziya Art Center at www.ziyaart.com for the course of 3 months. Thus, the selections are final and there is no need to post the actual work to us in California.
Important Note: We have 2 lists of accepted artists. The first list is showing the artists that are accepted and their application is final. The second list is showing the artists that are missing some information from application. If you are listed in the second list, you SHOULD email ziya.art.studio@gmail.com by September 23, 2015, your short (1 paragraph) biography, address, and specification of submitted works (include title, dimensions, medium, and price). If we do not receive this information we would unfortunately exclude the artist from the exhibition.
