Events

Since Culture Ireland was established in 2005, the agency has promoted and supported over 1200 Irish cultural initiatives and events in over 60 countries worldwide. In 2008 alone, over 500,000 people across the globe saw a live performance by an Irish theatre and/or dance company and many more have seen the work of Irish artists in exhibitions and films or been to a showcase gig of Irish bands at one of the 6 Music From Ireland showcases taking place every year.

A selection of highlights of projects and events in receipt of Culture Ireland support are listed on these pages. If you are interested in Irish culture and either based abroad or on holidays and would like to see some Irish arts work, check out the listings and websites to see if there is something happening near you.
