25th Annual Art Connection Members Exhibition

Main & Courtyard Galleries
November 1, 2025 – Nov. 22, 2025
Reception November 2 from 2-4PM

Exhibition History and Background:
Since 2001, each summer Irving Arts Center has held a non-juried exhibition featuring art created by our Art Connection members. During this show, artwork by students and professional and non-professional artists hangs side by side in the beautiful Main Gallery and the adjoining Courtyard Gallery. Existing and new Art Connection members are invited to submit up to two works of art. Awards will be given in three categories (Youth, Nonprofessional and Professional) as well as an overall Best of Show.

2025 Theme/Design Challenge – XXV: Then / Now / Next
In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Irving Arts Center’s Art Connection Member’s show, participating artists were invited to reflect on time (25 years ago, today, and 25 years from now) and explore how they, their art, or the world has changed and what might come next.

2025 Awards Judge: Jessica Fuentes
Jessica Fuentes is a writer, arts professional, and artist whose work has appeared in Hyperallergenic, The Brooklyn Rail, Southwest Contemporary, and scholarly journals such as the Journal of Museum Education and Art Education Journal.  She holds an MA in Art Education from the University of North Texas and a BA in Art and Performance from the University of Texas at Dallas.

As Editor-In-Chief of Glasstire, Fuentes leads editorial direction while also contributing essays, opinion pieces, reviews, and artist profiles.
