The John Irwin Student Art Show at Barrington Public Library is a vibrant collection of acrylic paintings created by students under the guidance of local artist and instructor John Irwin. This exhibition showcases the creativity and skill of emerging artists, offering the community an opportunity to engage with the expressive works of these students.
