Irving Archives & Museum receives 2020 Obelisk Award
August 14, 2020
In February and March 2020 the Irving Archives & Museum (IAM) was honored to partner with the ThinkIndia Foundation to showcase the rich artistic traditions of Indian culture through India a la Art, an exhibition funded through an Irving Arts Center Innovation Grant.
This effort resulted in IAM being named the recipient of a 2020 Obelisk Award, under the category of New Initiatives. The award is given by the North Texas Business Council for the Arts. The Obelisk Awards recognize “individuals and organizations who are pivotal in their support of arts and culture in North Texas.”
Thank you to the ThinkIndia Foundation, and if you haven’t already, please check out our Think India - India a la Art Exhibits Page where you can find a wonderful video capturing some of the beautiful poetry that was featured as part of the programming!
