About Persian New Year (Norooz, New Day)

Norooz is the celebration of earth’s renewal with the rebirth of spring. It is a secular custom that marks the first day of spring and beginning of the New Year in the Iranian calendar. Norooz is celebrated on the vernal equinox as the sun crosses the equator. This tradition, which dates back 2500 years, is celebrated by over 110 million people around the world 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 vernal equinox in San Francisco, is on Monday, March 20, 2017 at 03:18 AM.

In the past few decades, Iranian art has gone through a great deal of transformation juxtaposing traditional and modern elements, the result of which is extraordinary. San Francisco Bay Area is home to a myriad of avant-garde Iranian-American art organizations and artists representing this amazing transition.
