Art at Irvington

GALLERY SHOW PROJECT MISSION:

The Art Gallery at Irvington aims to uplift and empower emerging BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and PWD (People with Disabilities) artists by providing a dedicated platform to showcase their work and gain exposure early in their careers. As part of our Diversity and Equity Initiative, this program is rooted in meaningful action — creating opportunities and welcoming artists of color and other underrepresented voices into our club community.

This initiative marks an important step in our ongoing commitment to equity, access, and inclusion within a predominantly white environment.

How It Works:

Art at Irvington features four emerging artists each year through quarterly exhibits held in our dedicated upstairs lounge gallery.

Each show includes:
