The Pejman Foundation is an Iranian nonprofit art foundation, established by Hamidreza Pejman in 2015, [1] [2] to promote art in a space free of nationality and geographical boundaries, and to connect the common aspects of art and philosophy. [3] Throughout recent years, the activities of Pejman Foundation have expanded beyond building its collection and its grant and sponsorship program. Through the organization of workshops, lectures, and panel discussions, the invitation of international experts, its artist exchange programs, as well as its support for cultural research and publications, Pejman Foundation has become a creative hub for art practitioners and initiatives in Iran and abroad. Today, Pejman Foundation supports art and culture through a vibrant program of exhibitions, talks, and events at its multiple sites, including Argo Factory and Kandovan.
