As part of its Black History Month programming, Irwin House Gallery highlights the work of local emerging artist, Ivan Quiñones II in his first-ever solo exhibition, The Price of Speech. The exhibition launches with an open house reception on Friday, February 10, 2023 from 5:00 – 10:00 pm and showcases a new body of work inspired by an intense conversation-piece he created at the end of the year entitled Not Your Negro.
In addition, for Black History Month, Irwin House Gallery’s RED (BLACK & GREEN) ROOM will hold representational works by selected artists including Allen Williams, BAI, Brandi Langie, Bria Erby, Dalejuan, Daniel Parker, Donald Calloway, Elonte Davis, Habacuc Bessiake, Jasmine Graham, Jimmy James Greene, Kayleigh Blevins, Kirah Price, Marlon Ivory, Quadre Curry, Rotimi Godwin, and Shirley Woodson. A John Sims tribute mural, created by Quadre Curry, is also installed through the end of the month, and revolutionary works by Sims will be displayed and screened on the 2nd floor throughout.
