OUR MISSION
Islamic Arts Society aims to share the rich heritage of Islamic Arts. The society organizes events to celebrate our culture and promote the positive image of the Muslim community amongst the community at large.
Art is a common language and binds diverse communities.
By promoting Islamic arts, we hope to promote mutual understanding and to bring the broader American community together.
