IMPORTANT: There is NO Walk in the Park for 2011

The IGA is NOT hosting A Walk in the Park Art Fair in 2011. Evidently the Star printed a listing. We did not send out releases for the event and we apologize for any confusion. 

But DO let us know if you would like to help in planning Walk in the Park for 2012.  The IGA needs volunteers!! Just send an email to newsletter.iga@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer.  Thanks!

"Seeing the Tree and the Forest" Art Show and Silent Auction

Please join us and support these young artists in their efforts to

raise money for a worthwhile cause.

The CFI Art Club at IPS School #2  is hosting an art show and sale of original artwork.

Over 25 young artists will be exhibiting paintings and mixed media

collages. The proceeds raised from the sale of the artwork will

help fund a trip to the Appalachian mountains in the spring of

2011. During the trip the students will explore the rich art culture

of the region and complete a service project. In addition to the art

show, local artists are donating original artwork for a silent auction.

Please join us at the Bona Thompson Memorial Center located in

historic Irvington.

Friday, Oct. 8, from 7:00-10:00pm

Silent auction will close at 9pm

Walk in the Park

Thanks to all who came out (over 400) to Ellenberger yesterday.  Happy dogs, happy kids, happy art-lovers strolled the park, enjoying the incredible art in the 40+ booths.  Kids of all ages made their own art. And, the animals brought their own fun. Who did you like the best? The turtle who munched her way across the lawn? The non-stinky skunk? The ferret? The overcast skies gave some relief to the heat as people munched, chatted, and bought original items for their collections or gifts. And, welcomed "neighbors" from all over the country. Thanks to those who helped us update our database and who renewed /joined as members of the IGA.  We can now better reach out to you to keep you informed. And your membership helps fund the many events the IGA provides. Keeping artists and Community connected. 

If you have photos you'd like to share....let us know and we'll post them. And be sure to visit our Facebook page and become a fan!
