"The Irish Arts Center—something that we dream about as artists"
- Liam Ó Maonlaí
The New Irish Arts Center is so much more than a building. It's a new way of thinking about who we are and how we engage with the world. A place for people of all backgrounds to come together to celebrate the excellence and dynamism of Irish arts and culture. An artistic home for collaboration and innovation, a platform for presentation, a seedbed of ideas. A gateway to the the global diaspora.
“[Irish Arts Center's] capacity to change the arc in the careers of many artists, performers, dancers, writers, painters and musicians is enormous. And if the vision for its future is supported...then the sphere of its influence will increase proportionately.” —Bill Whelan
Artists
Our warm creative environment and high standards of excellence attracts innovative, virtuosic and dynamic Irish and Irish American talent, providing artists a place to collaborate with artistic peers from a range of backgrounds, a gateway to the dynamic New York and U.S. cultural ecosystem, and access to the robust community of civic, business, media, and philanthropic leaders who comprise our wonderful family of supporters.
Neighborhood
The New Irish Arts Center anchors the emerging culture cluster on Manhattan’s far west side, stimulating the neighborhood economy of hotels, restaurants, and small businesses that serve our expanding residential community and growing tourist footprint. Located in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, booming with residential and commercial development, our new building serves as a cultural home for our neighbors, local community groups, and small businesses.
