Madrigal Persian New YearMarch 1, 2016, Sausalito, CA – On Sunday, March 13th, Madrigal Family Winery Tasting Salon & Gallery in Sausalito will host the 5th in its Art and Wine series, featuring the work of local Bay Area Iranian American Artists including: Aida Dargahi, Amir Salamat, Arash Shirinbab, Fateme Rezaeefar, Mokhtar Paki and Shiva Pakdel, with art curation by Shiva Pakdel & Haleh Douraghy.  This exhibition is a celebration of Norouz (Persian New Year) and Persian art and heritage – the fabric of Persian identity.

In the past few decades, Iranian art has gone through a great deal of transformation juxtaposing traditional and modern expressions, the result of which is extraordinary. San Francisco Bay Area is home to a myriad of avant-garde Iranian American artists representing this amazing transition. The installation will be on view in the Madrigal Salon March 11 through April 7, 2016.

Norouz is the celebration of earth’s renewal with the rebirth of spring. It is a secular holiday that marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the New Year in the Iranian calendar which is celebrated on the vernal equinox as the sun crosses the equator.  Norouz is celebrated all over the world by over 110 million people who trace their heritage to the ancient Persians. From the Balkans to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea regions, the Caucasus, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East.  The Norouz tradition goes back 2500 years. March Equinox in San Francisco, is on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 9:30 PM.

Entrance to the Madrigal art and wine event is complimentary. RSVP to Patricia Gatti sausalito@madrigalfamilywinery.com
