The performing and fine arts community in Irving welcomed a new home in 1990 with the completion of the Irving Arts Center. The Arts Center’s 10-acre complex, nestled in the heart of Dallas-Fort Worth, features two fully-equipped theaters; four galleries; meeting, classroom, reception and rehearsal facilities; and a verdant sculpture garden. The Arts Center – a department of the City of Irving – was designed to accommodate a wide range of cultural and civic needs.
Ben and Betty Carpenter provided the catalyst for construction of the Arts Center with a donation of land at 3333 N. MacArthur Blvd. to the City of Irving in 1980 for the purpose of constructing a home for the arts in Irving. When completed in 1990, the facility included the two fully-equipped theaters; four galleries; meeting, classroom, reception and rehearsal facilities and a sculpture garden.
