Building of the Day: Irish Arts Center

The Irish Arts Center (IAC) is a place for creation and development of new productions, a venue that supports cross-collaborations between US and Irish artists in many disciplines, and a center for educational programs that serves both the Irish-American and the broader community.

The renovated and expanded IAC houses a 199-seat flexible theater, a rehearsal studio classroom, a multi-purpose classroom, exhibit areas, and a café. It provides spaces for collaboration among the creative disciplines of music, theater, dance, film, comedy, literature, and the visual arts. The new theater will be used for drama, spoken word, and music, and was designed to provide a flexible and neutral backdrop for set design while retaining a distinct character when used as a music venue.
