Liikeh Art Factory

In the local dialect, Liikeh means freshly sprouted wheat — a symbol of growth, vitality, and renewal. With the same vision, the Liikeh Art Factory has come to life: an independent space in the heart of an industrial zone, where art and industry intertwine to create new and lasting experiences.

We believe in the transformative power of art — to inspire, provoke thought, and strengthen human connections. At Liikeh, we strive to build a platform for dialogue and collaboration between artists and industrialists; a place where creativity meets functionality, and potential turns into reality.

Merging industry with art not only provides artists with new tools and opportunities for expression but also reflects the growing influence of technology and industry on contemporary artistic practices.

Our aim is to create a dynamic, flexible ecosystem where artists can nurture and develop their ideas in an open and creative environment. We seek to form new human networks, support artists in flourishing their practice, encourage industries to engage more with art, and help reconnect fragmented parts of the city to enhance its surrounding landscape.

The Liikeh Art Factory has emerged within a former carpet factory in Amir Kabir Industrial Town, Kashan — where unused halls and exhibition spaces have been revitalized to host new creative flows. The architectural design of the complex was completed by Mohammadreza Azizi in the summer of 2024, and its construction has begun under his team’s supervision.
