IRIS Arts Community is a non-profit organization dedicated to the celebration and promotion of local and regional artists, writers and musicians by providing accessible spaces for them to showcase their work. Our current projects include IRIS Room and IRIS Magazine. 

IRIS Room is a bi-monthly event organized by IRIS Arts and hosted at Heartbreak Coffee on the square in Oxford, Mississippi. The event features live poetry, musical acts, and artwork displayed around the coffee shop on the tables and walls, but has also featured dancing, stand-up comedy, theatrical acts & more!  
The event is volunteer-run, and remains free for anyone to attend or to participate in. 

Alongside the IRIS Room event, we aim to relaunch our annual publication known as IRIS Magazine, which will feature artists and writers’ works together and be available purchase all over the South.

For more info, please reach out to us at irisartscommunity@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you!

IRIS Arts Member Application

The team behind IRIS Room and IRIS Mag is seeking new members to keep the community thriving! Responsibilities may include participating in monthly board/volunteer (online) meetings, helping to facilitate the bi-monthly pop-up arts & poetry events, photographing the events, and/or assisting in social media management. 

"We are a team of volunteers that have worked to put these free community events together since 2017. As the board chair, I can say this experience has enriched my life and helped me form lasting connections to the community of Oxford. Through my time working on IRIS, I have also gained a hands-on education in non-profit management and events organizing. This position would be great for anyone looking to get more established in the local arts community. Dedicating just a couple hours per month could help us tremendously in keeping this program going and growing!" - Amy Webb, Chair of IRIS Arts
