My Department through Culture Ireland provides annual programme funding to the Irish Arts Centre (IAC) in New York for the presentation and promotion of a wide range of contemporary Irish culture in all its aspects including film, visual arts, theatre, literature, music in the USA. The IAC is a key strategic flagship for the presentation of Irish culture in the USA and this funding is drawn down over a number payments each year.

My Department has also provided capital funding of €1.5m in 2024 towards the cost of the redevelopment of the Irish Arts Center, given its importance as a platform for showcasing Irish artists to the US market.
