“In a bid to materialize the ‘Razavi School of Arts’, the institute has used various programs based on its three main axes, namely, artists’ participation, theoreticians’ activism, and policy-makers’ actions”, said Mohammad Javad Ostadi, head of ‘Razavi School of Arts’ project in the Institute of Artistic Creations.

He added that the institute made attempts to design a wide range of programs in different artistic fields to realize the goals of the Razavi School of Arts.

Further, the CEO of the institute cited ‘event creation’ as one the most significant and efficient cultural approaches in the world, saying: “In fact, via creating and event, attempts are made to move towards realizing the pre-determined goals so that it will eventually be efficient”.

Ostadi noted that awarding medals and special prizes could act as incentives to drag more artists towards such festivals and gatherings.

“The festivals and events will send the chosen submitted works to the institute, and our referee committee will evaluate them”, continued Ostadi about the selection method of the outstanding works.

He concluded his remarks by hoping that this measure would start a movement in production of artistic works about Imam Reza’s culture and teachings.
