Lois & Richard England Gallery at Iona Tenleytown
Dedicated to Lois and Richard England, longtime supporters of Iona and the arts, the Lois & Richard England Gallery at Iona Tenleytown visually demonstrates Iona’s commitment to promoting healthy aging and creative expression.
The entire Iona Tenleytown building features pieces from talented local artists who are 60 and older. Our current show includes pieces contributed by participants in Iona's Around Town DC program. The gallery is open to the public during regular office hours on Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
