Statement from the Curator: As a curator of “The Road to the Heart”,
it is an honor to work with talented painters across Texas for this
year. Our vision and theme in this exhibition revolves
around Persian culture and heritage and the Persian New Year (Norooz). I
feel that this is a must-see show for learning about diversity from
other cultures. –Curator Pouran Lashini
