Art Project 1400:
Building up Community Resilience

ICC health committee is launching the second phase of Art Project 1400. All passionate and committed artists are invited to submit their artworks exploring the theme of Art, Community and Resilience. Our goal is focused on how we may appeal to art for helping people building up resilience in the time of collective or individual crisis during this covid-19 outbreak. The exhibition will be an online event in which we look to promote Iranian as well as Iranian Canadian artists.
