In 1991 the Persian-American Affairs office received the approval of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States to establish the “Friends of the Persian Culture Association.” The Association was created with the following goals: helping the Bahá’ís with an Iranian background to preserve their cultural, literary, and artistic heritage; encouraging the Bahá’í children, youth, and young adults to learn the Persian language; familiarizing the Bahá’í community as a whole with the culture of Iran, the birth place of the Bahá’í Faith, in order to facilitate their study of Bahá’í Writings and history.

At the annual gatherings of the Association, the different aspects of the culture of Iran-especially in relation to the Bahá’í Faith-are discussed, artistic programs are presented, galleries for exhibiting the work of Iranian artists are organized, and the results of recent studies in the area of Iranian culture are presented.
