The City of Irvine is developing a Strategic Energy Plan that will demonstrate Irvine’s commitment to leadership and innovation. The Plan will support businesses and residents in adopting affordable, efficient, and resilient energy solutions.

This first workshop will focus on shaping the energy strategies related to Irvine’s planning, development, and land-use. Please join in this public engagement effort to ensure your ideas and feedback are captured as we create the Plan.

Join the Irvine Fine Arts Center on Saturday, August 10, at 3 p.m. for a closing reception and artist panel featuring Eduardo Aispuro, Carlos Beltran Arechiga, and Patricia Liverman. The artists will be discussing works in the center's current summer exhibitions, Time Under Tension and Place & Displace. Artists will be in discussion with one another and members of the audience, exploring process, influences, and the unexpected resonances in their works.
