Join us for Lunch & Learn the first Tuesday of each month. 

We will meet monthly, typically the first Tuesday of each month (summer months excluded), 12 – 1:30 p.m. in the meeting rooms. The program is free and open to the public. Drop in if you can!

Next up photographer, Ximena Peryea, will join us Tuesday, November 10 (the second Tuesday of November) from noon to 1:30PM as our featured guest speaker for the next installment of our 2026-2027 Lunch Series. She will speak about her late sister Mariella Cadena Angel whose artwork is on exhibit in Came in Water, Left in Wind: Mariella Cadena Angel in the Dupree Lobby, Oct 24-Jan. 30. 

This exhibition celebrates the late Colombian American artist Mariella Cadena Angel, who left behind a vibrant, thought-provoking collection of abstract works that have never before been exhibited.

Mariella was diagnosed with an aggressive, metastatic breast tumor at 40 and against all odds, lived to be 63. Her portfolio evolved into a visual art diary that illuminates hope and resilience and tells of her journey and her confrontations with metastatic breast cancer. Mariella’s works are handmade digital paintings on paper, acrylic, and metal and include watercolor and mixed media creations.

You are welcome to bring snacks or a brown bag lunch, and of course, invite friends! The IAC Lunch & Learn program is always free and open to the public.
