Irving Archives & Museum receives 2020 Obelisk Award
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!
Visit Irving and the Irving Archives and Museum have partnered to present History on the House, offering FREE museum admission throughout October in celebration of Arts and Culture Month and IAM’s award-winning season. In celebration of the partnership, IAM opened Destination Irving: The Making of a Convention Center. Centered on a large architectural model, the exhibition explores how the Irving Convention Center was designed and built and its role in the city’s visitor economy. This partnership gives residents and visitors an opportunity to explore Irving’s history while showing how tourism helps support the city’s cultural resources. Destination Irving: The Making of a Convention Center is on view at IAM through November 29, 2026. More here.
