PHOENIX, Arizona - The Irish Cultural Center is owned by the City of Phoenix and is operated through public private partnership with the Irish Cultural and Learning Foundation.
It grew out of a cooperative public-private partnership between the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department; the Arizona Department of Transportation; a Sister City relationship with Ennis, Ireland; and the Irish Cultural and Learning Foundation, a local non-profit coalition of affiliated Irish and Celtic organizations.
One of the major programs of the Phoenix Irish Cultural Center is the Academy of Irish and Celtic Studies. The goal of the Academy is to offer the highest quality educational and cultural programming in music, dance, art, history, literature, drama, crafts, language, and traditional activities.
This replica of an Irish cottage from the Irish Folk Park at Bunratty, County Clare is located at the Irish Cultural Center in Phoenix, Arizona. A dedication ceremony to launch this new exhibit is planned for March 21
