Aun Gallery is Tehran's first privately-owned art space designed and built to showcase contemporary art. The building offers 120 square meters of open exhibition space, a five-meter high ceiling and a paneled roof to provide maximum natural light. Aun Gallery allows for optimal exhibition of all types of art media (painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation) while offering the visitor a new art viewing experience. Aun Gallery was established in September 2009 to promote exceptionally talented young Iranian artists and support their contribution to Iran's rich tradition in the arts and culture. To ensure maximum exposure of the artist and the work on display, the gallery will hold ten to eleven solo exhibits per year, lasting approximately one month at a time.
