In 1991 the “Association of Friends of Persian Culture” was established under the auspices of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of the United States to promote Persian arts and culture.  The goals of the Association are as follows:

·        To help Baha’is of Iranian descent to appreciate and preserve their cultural heritage

·        To encourage Baha’i youth and children of Iranian descent to familiarize themselves with,  and gain a deeper appreciation of Persian arts and culture.

·        To help English speaking friends and relatives of Baha’is of Iranian descent, as well as the general public, to familiarize themselves with,  and gain an appreciation of Persian arts and culture.

·        To promote systematic and comprehensive study of Persian arts and culture
