Irving Works

A photography exhibition highlighting City of Irving employees at their jobs working to make and keep Irving such an enjoyable place to live.

On view at IAM through May 18, 2025.
Every day, the employees of the City of Irving dedicate their time, skills, and energy to keeping the city running smoothly. From maintaining parks and streets to providing vital services, their work ensures that Irving remains a thriving, welcoming community.

The photography exhibit Irving Works highlights city employees at their jobs working to keep Irving an inviting place to live.

Their efforts extend far beyond the tasks they perform, reflecting a commitment to excellence, pride in their work, and a shared vision of Irving’s future. From public safety to public works, from libraries to recreation centers, these employees represent the spirit of Irving: a community strengthened by teamwork, perseverance, and a passion for service.

Their stories highlight the dedication and expertise that power the city every day, shaping Irving into the vibrant and dynamic place so many call home.

The exhibit Irving Works is a companion to the national exhibition Working America. Both exhibits are on view through May 18.
