| WHEREAS, For 55 years, the Irving Art Association has | ||

| January 1956 by seven artists, Edna Ganser, Edith Sinnett, Lil | ||
| Cartright, Liz Stricklin, Pat Bishop, Jeanne Trevarrow, and Barbara | ||
| Turrentine Fryrear; the group first gathered in private homes, | ||

| WHEREAS, Since its founding, the organization has remained | ||
| dedicated to its mission of helping to enhance local citizens' | ||
| knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of art while enabling | ||
| its membership to enjoy the fellowship of other artists; today, in | ||

| Arts at Jaycee Park, the group sponsors demonstrations, workshops, | ||
| and introductory classes, as well as several annual competitions; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, The IAA has also been an enthusiastic supporter of | ||
| area students, with a yearly exhibition of their work held at the | ||
| Arts Center on MacArthur Boulevard and a scholarship offered to a | ||
| promising high school senior; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Irving Art Association provides a wealth of | ||
| cultural opportunities to the residents of its community, and it is | ||
| a pleasure to recognize the organization on this significant | ||
| occasion in its rich history; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby honor the Irving Art | ||
| Association on its 55th anniversary and extend to all those | ||
