Irish Arts Center (IAC) is a national and international home for artists and audiences of all backgrounds. Based in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, Irish Arts Center presents, develops, supports, and promotes work from established and emerging artists, providing cultural experiences that are innovative, collaborative, diverse, authentic, and emotionally and intellectually transporting, meet the highest standards of excellence, and celebrate our common humanity in an environment of Irish hospitality. Founded in 1972, throughout our history the Center has also provided community education programs and access to the arts for adults and children of all ages and ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
As IAC is committed to representing diverse identities in our artistic programming, so too are we committed to diverse representations in our administrative team. Irish Arts Center is an equal opportunity employer and will consider all applicants for employment without unlawful discrimination based on race, creed (religion), color, sex (including gender expression), national origin, sexual orientation, military status, age, disability, predisposing genetic characteristic, marital status or domestic violence victim status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
We, the Irish Arts Center staff, are on an entrepreneurial mission to put an arts institution on the cultural map in New York City in a way that didn’t exist before. That is not a small task! New York’s cultural space is already full of MANY other cultural institutions, more so than arguably any other city in the country. Through an extensive process with many stakeholders, we have identified as our core strengths three things that we strive to do better than anyone else, and feel that these are what can set us apart from other similar institutions: Excellence, Hospitality, and Intimacy.
