A Tree Worth Celebrating

Sweet Mustang Memories: A Tree Worth Celebrating!

This holiday season, the Friends of the Irving Museums have decked the halls of the Irving Arts Center with our unique tree, Sweet Mustang Memories, for the 32nd Annual Holiday Tree Exhibition. Inspired by the "Sweet Dreams of Christmas" theme, our tree celebrates the cherished 40th anniversary of the iconic Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture by Robert Glen, adorned with community memories, rustic, country-inspired décor, and horse-themed accents.


Catch the magic in person from Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 5 p.m., at the Irving Arts Center galleries. Or, view and vote for your favorite tree online via Irving Arts Center’s Instagram and Facebook pages. Every “like” on our tree brings us closer to winning a cash prize that will directly support the important work of the museums in Irving, including the

Irving Archives and Museum.


Don't miss this chance to revel in the holiday spirit and champion our museums!


Gather your friends, enjoy the beautifully decorated trees and help us turn Sweet Mustang Memories into a winner.
