Irish Arts Center, founded in 1972, is a New York City-based performing arts and cultural venue focused on Irish and Irish American culture. Its programming spans three core areas: live performance across music, dance, theatre, and film; visual arts exhibitions; and education with classes in Irish language, history, music, and dance. Located at 553 West 51st Street in New York City, the center serves as a platform for both emerging and established artists to reach audiences locally, across the United States, and beyond, while acting as a conduit for other institutions to access Irish culture. Recent developments include a six-year international partnership with the Irish Museum of Modern Art to present exhibitions in New York, signaling an expansion of international collaboration. The organization continues to position itself within the performing arts landscape as a hub for Irish and Irish American culture that engages diverse audiences.
