The Irwin House Gallery's mission is to serve, invigorate, and strengthen the West End Detroit (WEdetroit) neighborhoods of Virginia Park, LaSalle Gardens, and NW Goldberg through exposure, engagement and education through the arts. Our programs include themed solo and group exhibitions, an artist-in-residency program, regular artist symposiums and educational workshops, as well as hands-on opportunities for youth, community, veterans and seniors groups.
We provide a space to support local Detroit talent, and invite the global art world to experience and contribute to the cultural wealth of our great city.
History
Established in 2015.
We incorporated in 2015 and opened our doors to the public in August 2018, after a lengthy and continuing building rehab. We are operating out of our main gallery space, but working to open up more of our space and grow our programs.
