Reporting "Asre Namayeshgah", The exhibition will be held on Thursday and Friday at the Mahak Charity Society, a Tehran-based major medical center for children with cancer, the center announced on its website on Sunday.
The works have been created by children attending courses, which were held by art teacher Tara Behbahani over the past year.
The children have drawn their own perception of life in the works for the exhibit entitled “Life from My Eyes”.
The exhibition aims to encourage children to help the children of the same age who are battling cancer, Behbahani said in a press release.
She has held the charity exhibition every year for the past ten years.
The first exhibition was held with paintings by 16 child artists in 2007 to raise funds to provide clothing for poor children for Noruz, the Iranian New Year celebration.
“That year I never thought that the 16 child artists would increase to 72 and many people joined us in organizing the event,” Behbahani said.
She expressed her hope that this year’s exhibition would be received as warmly as previous editions.
