BRIDGE OF PERSIA 2013
Magical Nights is a unique fundraising event held every 18 months in the Middle East and Europe. The vast majority of the charity’s funds are raised through this event. This is made possible through the generosity of well‐known and established Iranian and international artists, who donate their works for sale at this Fundraising Art Auction and Gala. Conducted by Christie’s, this year the auction entitled Bridge of Persia, will be held in the London.
Due to the recognition that these auctions have gained, Magic of Persia appoints a curator to oversee the selection process for donated works. This event is the single most important of all Magic of Persia activities as the funds raised during these auctions support all of Magic of Persia’s programmes and beneficiaries. Magic of Persia also supports other charities and humanitarian causes through the raised funds.
