Beginning with the surveying of the railroad route between Dallas and Ft. Worth in 1902, Irving's growth has been affected by key developments in transportation including DFW International Airport, major highways, the TRE and DART's light rail system.
The award-winning artwork, including honorable mention recipients will be exhibited at the Irving Arts Center, August 3 – Sept. 29.
