The Deputy Minister of Guidance raised the issue of linking the visual arts with the products needed by the people

According to Fars News Agency, quoting the press office of the 14th Fajr Visual Arts Festival; In a message to the festival, Mahmoud Salari said: “Visual arts are the oldest achievement of human art, and today in the technological world that has taken over human life, visual arts in all fields such as painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, etc. are still alive.” Everyday and bio-artistic people of the world have a unique place. Throughout history, our Iran has seen great artists whose drawings and drawings are the greatest cultural and artistic heritage of humanity for us and the world.

The Deputy Minister of Arts added: “Today, the visual arts are in great demand among the people, and this issue makes the duty of the Deputy Minister of Arts and, in the first place, the General Directorate of Visual Arts, doubly difficult.” The sincere association of artists with art events, which on the one hand have a complex process and on the other hand their social influences and artistic currents are very important in cultural planning, culminates in the Fajr Festival of Visual Arts. In this festival, which has a revolutionary origin, cultural policies and cultural roots have caused art to find its committed meaning among artists and art-loving people. The value and status of events such as the Festival of Visual Arts become more apparent when we pay attention. Today, a significant portion of the products people need are associated with the visual arts.

Salari continues his message: A look at the previous periods of the Fajr Festival of Visual Arts shows that the path, although it went through many difficulties, trials and errors, but it was correct, because it caused the critics and artists of this field to be indifferent. Do not ignore it, and the criticisms and issues they have raised to improve this festival show their cultural and artistic concerns.

Although the Fajr Festival of Visual Arts is young compared to other Fajr festivals, at a very young age, it is mature and the general secretaries have always been looking for ways to improve. Youth in itself creates a lot of dynamism and vitality for the festival, and the presence of art veterans in this event in the position of Secretary General, Secretary and Judge, show traces of maturity and transcendent thought.

At the end of his message, he expressed his hope for a structural view of the festival body and thanked the colleagues of the General Directorate of Visual Arts and the Institute for Contemporary Visual Arts Development, the Secretary General and all the secretaries, judges and colleagues of the Fajr Visual Arts Festival Secretariat. We should recognize it as an effective institution in the field of visual arts and think better and more to strengthen its structural foundations on the one hand, and to exploit its achievements on the other.
