Safarehonar Group was established in 2019 with the help of Iranian and French artists.
Creating this artistic group aims to introduce contemporary Iranian culture and art to the world and vice versa. In line with this lofty goal, our services include holding exhibitions featuring Iranian and International artists’ artworks and providing educational workshops and seminars inside and outside Iran. We try to create a platform for artists to be able to present and sell their artworks in an international arena.
We hope these efforts will help increase the artistic and cultural exchanges between Iranian artists and the world and lead to progress in art.

An artistic event organized to put forward the subject of “Social Distancing” in the Covid-19 pandemic context.

Over a year, we had been dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic and its consequent restrictions as a global society.
As an art group with a large database of artists, we are always looking for ways to help those artists express themselves through different events.
Our latest idea was a competition with a theme of “Distance” adapted specifically to the situation of social distancing and the Covid-19 pandemic in general.
To make the exhibition an aesthetically pleasing event and give the participants an equitable chance, we imposed that the work would be presented in a 50×50 cm canvas format.
After over 150 submissions, 28 pieces were selected anonymously by a panel of esteemed jury members with different backgrounds. The selection was made taking into consideration not only the technique and the artistic merits of the artwork but also its relevance to the subject at hand; “Distance.”
