IRIS
A play of colour
The aesthetic character of the eye
A plant that lives in a state of supportive co-existence
All three definintions of the word Iris served as a basis for the conception and formation of this woman's collective of artists and educators. The IRIS Group is a forum within which alliances and collaborative efforts can be generated naturally. The Durham Region based collective was formed in 1996 with an aim to raise levels of access for women in the arts, to share ideas and offer mutual support. The collective also offered a wider profile for female area artists. The IRIS Group had its final exhibition in the spring of 2025.
