Dear Friends and Neighbors,

For years, the Iranian community in Minnesota has shared stories, tea, and traditions in borrowed spaces and living rooms. Today, we have a historic opportunity to change that.

The Twin Cities Iranian Cultural Collective (TCICC) is launching a landmark campaign to purchase a permanent home and physical building for the Minnesota Iranian Cultural Center.

This building will be more than just brick and mortar. It will be:

- A Sanctuary for Connection: A place where our elders can gather and our youth can discover their heritage.

- A Bridge of Understanding: A vibrant hub to educate and share the beauty of Iranian art, history, and culture with all Minnesotans.

- A Shared Home for the Future: A non-partisan, non-religious space dedicated solely to the preservation of our diverse community spirit.

- Located centrally in Minneapolis or Saint Paul 

- Dedicated gallery for Minnesota Iranian artists and rotating showings 

- Event space for Nowruz, Mehregan Fall Festival and other arts and cultural events, with option for general public space rental at community rates 

- General meeting and gathering space for the community for socializing or non-partisan civic purposes as needed 

- Full service kitchen for cultural cuisine programming and events
