Organizational Profile
Founded in 1972, Irish Arts Center (IAC) is a national and international home for the presentation, development and support of work from artists and cultural practitioners, established and emerging, who work in Irish, Irish-American and other contexts, in traditional, contemporary, and modern disciplines. IAC seeks to broaden the lens of Irish culture to include artistic work that might not traditionally be seen as “Irish,” but engages the relationship between Irish culture and other cultures represented in New York City and around the world, and provides a collaborative, supportive environment for artists that welcomes artistic dialogue and risk-taking.
As such, the Center actively embraces the modernity, dynamism, and diversity of the global Irish diaspora, and Ireland’s identity as a modern European country, while engaging with evolving traditions, placing Irishness in dialogue with the broader cultural ecology of New York City, to inspire, innovate, and entertain. The Center also provides community education programs in Irish arts and culture and provides wide access to the arts for adults and children of all ages and ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds through ticket and tuition subsidy programs.
