The Graerest Rural Visual Arts Festival Goes on Stream in Iran
Hajme Sabz Artistic group has embarked to hold the first plan for open-air drawing festival in which volunteers are able to draw in outdoors of Iranian villages; the plan is entitled as “Rural Art Festival”. The plan aims at integrating and maintaining the relation between art and rural community through visual artists out of galleries, musiums and art universities

“Rural Art Festival” in fact is a visual motion amongst Iranian villagers which is originated from a painter’s idea, it finds its own audience and calls for other visual artists. It brings about the art, particularly painting among the people and engraves its meaningful influence using media, press agencies, internet and Television networks on the society.

It can be claimed that, this measure is unique in our country and its previous counterparts were so frail that their effect on vision of Iranian can be underestimated. Painting in outdoors of Iranian villages or “rural art Festival” which is run by some men, women, youth and children in Iranianvillages is unprecednted based on our artistic memory

Some believe that same thoughts would have been taken place somewhere and some decades ago which have not been creative, however can you enumerate an artisric motion which has been regulated without using experiences of other nations

An artistic event or experience takes its value and reputation from its different and uniqueupshot rather its root and precedence. During art’s history, its innovation has never limited to use of cutting edge tools and its manifestation styles, however it has been proven that combining presen approaches with new ones hs ended to some upheavals which has differentiate them from their preliminary sparks

Bringing art amongst people, publishing it across general public, involving families and their children are of its outcomes which can direct the art from ivory tower to general public, thus families can touch the art closely and try for its development. Art is a complicated and attractive concept which has solved human concerns during the far history.Wording concerns, senses, minds, intentions, thoughts, shortages, etc was the concerns of ancient and modern human which has conjured up various form to its since now

Painting in outdoor of Iranian villages which is exerted by Hajme Sabz Artistic Group configures this fact that the art shall not confined to a special class, school and space. Why performing such activities is forbidden in outdoors, it may help emerging some new trends and vision across the art world

One of substantial problems of art activities in Iran is art training. Our demands, researches , examinations and plans suffer from serious defects. Although educational, cultural and artistic official are actual entities who must deal with them, other people and entities must take part in process

In some countries. Children are being aquainted with art and its critics which help them to discover their intuitional talents

Eventually, we hope this plan become a global facility through supports of artistic society particularly visual arts artists and Iranian art centers and make a minuscule change in visual arts

This festival has been held in 45 villages situated on Tehran, Mazandaran, Gorgan, Kerman, Kordestan, Bushehr, and Ardabil provinces yet and about 6000 villagers along with 300 artists have participated in it
