IRWIN HOUSE GLOBAL ART CENTER & GALLERY – 2351 W GRAND BLVD – DETROIT 48208
As part of its Black History Month programming, Irwin House Gallery highlights the work of local emerging artist, Terrell Anglin in his first-ever, long-awaited solo exhibition, ON FIRE. The exhibition opens with a preview on Thursday, February 8 from 5-8 pm and Reception on Friday, February 9th from 6-10 pm at Irwin House Gallery.
Terrell is a Detroit-born pyrography artist who uses wood-burning, often with mixed media techniques, to connect the African American past and present and explore deeply personal, formative experiences. He has exhibited with Irwin House in group shows since 2020 and in New York at City College Center of the Arts, where his work remains in their permanent collection.
Exhibition programming includes an Artist Talk on Sunday, February 18 @ 2pm and a Closing Reception which doubles as a 40th birthday celebration for the artist on Thursday, March 7th. Event invite here: https://fb.me/e/47W4BOWpA
The Mirrored Glass Harp Trio will transform the 2nd floor parlor with an immersive, interdisciplinary art installation informed and inspired by the harp and traditional string instrumentation. The trio will open with a performance on February 17th, 2024 from 6-9 pm and the installation will remain on view through early March. The Mirrored Glass includes local harpists Ahya Simone, Anjel Mantel, and Ackeem Salmon who aim, not only to write and perform, but to creatively raise awareness about the instrument and its origins.
