Shirin Art Gallery and Houman Charity Organization in Tehran will hold a one-day exhibition of artworks by female artists on February 8.

Established for less than a year by a number of artists, Houman is a non-profit organization which seeks to improve the conditions of artists with cancer who need emotional, financial and medical support.
In recent years, several Iranian artists have died of cancer, and there are still some who are suffering from the disease.
Shirin Gallery is one of the leading custodians and promoters of Iranian modern and contemporary art in the world. With branches in Tehran and New York, it is also committed to charity with fundraisers throughout the year.
The exhibit is open to the public at the gallery located at No. 5, 13th St., Sanaei St., Karimkhan-e Zand Ave.
