project 300 kicks off

I have been simply overwhelmed by the massive response to project 300. In the past 3 days I have received close to 1,200 comments and emails. Many people have submitted their art, while others have suggested ways to improve the site.

Already there has been some great art posted (+). Despite what some have suggested, project 300 is neither retaliatory nor confrontational. It is a collaborative endeavor aimed at showing the artistic side of Persians you normally don't see in the media, specially these days. 300 was just an excuse to bring Persian artists together, perhaps project 300 will serve as the foundation on which to build a thriving and active artistic community.
