Canada is planning to hold Six Weeks of Iranian Art festival, hosting visual artists, photographers, musicians and filmmakers in the city of Toronto.

The festival program includes four visual arts exhibitions, four musical performances and screening of a selection of the best Iranian short films and documentaries.

The program also includes interactive workshops, screen-play readings, story-telling and networking events as well as a dusk-to-dawn continuous projection of short films and selected art works for the public.

The Mystic Train exhibition of the festival will exhibit paintings, photographs, sculptures and graphic designs created by eight Iranian women.

Ronak Kordestani (painter), Mansoureh Feyzi (sculptor), Leila Miri (graphic artist), Adeleh Farzindar (sculptor), Kimia Rahgozar (photographer) and Maryam Enayati (graphic artist) are the artists whose works will be showcased in the Mystic Train section of the festival.

Visitors will also get the chance to see works by a number of veteran Iranian artists at an exhibition called The Backdrop to the Future.

The show will display works by Mohsen Vaziri-Moqaddam (painter and sculptor), Qobad Shiva (graphic artist), Hamid Jebelli (photographer) and Edman Ayvazian (painter), as visual art masters who have influenced contemporary Iranian and international art and inspired and nurtured generations of younger artists.
