Member Artists Share their work in virtual show

Click here to bring an entire art exhibit into your home. Members of the ILR have sent digital images of their creations so you can enjoy the range of talent and likewise be inspired to dabble in the arts. Let the slide show run or click the side arrows (< and >) to enjoy each image at your own pace.

In the spirit of reinventing an ILR event and conversation, you will find the list of artists below the exhibit gallery. Click each name in the article "Meet the Artists" to learn more about the people and their inspirations. Several of our exhibitors began exploring their talent only when they retired from careers. We hope more ILR members will step out of their routines with paintbrush or camera in hand and see life with renewed intensity.
