SEPTEMBER HAPPENINGS

Are you ready for some fall crisp cool weather, swirling leaves, red skies...
AND, very special events at our very own Dragon? Come join us to help celebrate -

Friday, September 4, 5:00 – 8:00 pm
The Wild Side of Irvington

Join us for Irvington's First Friday event. This exhibition brings together a diverse range of work featuring 5 artists who explore the natural side of Irvington—Cynthia Blasingham, painter and printmaker; Marti Icenogle, printmaker; Miranda Marsico, photographer; Kris May, anime artist and Kathy Thompson, painter. Just as Hoosier writer and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter trudged through the Limberlost Swamp, these local artists have trekked through the parks, gardens and yards of Irvington in search of inspiration for their artistic creations to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Stratton-Porter’s classic novel The Girl of the Limberlost.

Saturday, September 12, Noon – 6 pm
