Red, White & the Blues: Holidays with Soul
29th Annual Holiday Exhibition & Tree Decorating Competition
Dec 1-31, 2021
A holiday tradition now in its 29th year at the Irving Arts Center, the Main Gallery is transformed each December into a festive wonderland of spectacularly decorated Christmas trees and Irving ISD elementary student artwork. Finding inspiration in the 2021 theme, “Red, White & The Blues: Holidays with Soul,” various Irving-based schools and community groups helped ‘’deck the halls,’’ decorating trees with hand-crafted ornaments and other trimmings, competing for cash prizes and bragging rights.
