The End of the Show: Iris Arts to Close Gallery Doors

After much thought, I have decided to close Iris Arts to lend some support to my family during a difficult time. The gallery has been doing very well, and by no means are we tucking tail and closing up shop for lack of community interest.

To celebrate new beginnings, we will host the final gallery event on Friday, January 20th, 2006 from 6 - 9 pm. We will finish off the last of the wine and artworks will be available for sale and to take home.

Thank you to all of my wonderful artists and patrons for the support that it has taken to keep our receptions hopping, must-attend events I am thankful for the opportunity to have an arts space in Fayetteville, and I intend to stay involved in Fayetteville's art community. Currently, plans are in the works to continue the quarterly Art Walks.

Thank you!
