IRIS Group ZOOM exhibition
​Thursday June 25 at 7 pm. is available on the IRIS home page.

The exhibition will highlight a diversity of direction in exploring the interconnections of the environment, people and architecture, connecting to  our sense of being and place. Our "Room of One's Own" proves at present to be our website where our extensive history is documented.

The ZOOM opening will consist of a presentation by Curator Wendy Wallace and members, where we will show images and speak about some of our recent art-making. Please visit us on June 25 to see our art and have a good old opening schmooze. Feel free to dress up and bring your own wine and cheese. Or come in PJs with your cereal.
