CIACLA offers a dynamic range of programs and services focused on contemporary Irish culture, engaging both local Los Angeles communities and a global network of artists. Our core programming includes art exhibitions, music events, theatrical performances and a Film Festival, where emerging and established creatives showcase cutting-edge work that highlights evolving cultural narratives. We partner with local galleries, cultural centers, and community spaces to bring these exhibitions to new audiences and foster collaborative dialogues between Irish and American artistic traditions.

CIACLA presents performing arts events—theater, dance, music, spoken word, and multidisciplinary performances—that reflect the vibrancy of Los Angeles and modern Ireland. These performances frequently involve cross-cultural collaborations, linking artists to encourage innovative fusions and broaden our collective creative horizons. Our educational workshops and public programs further support community engagement by offering informative experiences geared toward learners of all ages. Whether it’s a workshop on contemporary dance, a literary reading and discussion, or a youth-oriented cultural immersion session, CIACLA strives to create inclusive spaces for curiosity, dialogue, and hands-on participation.

A significant element of our work is the CIACLA Creative Network, a monthly gathering that brings together artists from all backgrounds living in Los Angeles to share ideas, resources, and professional opportunities. By facilitating these in-person and online meetups, CIACLA aims to build a supportive community that cultivates artistic growth and deepens cultural ties between Ireland and California. We also engage in pop-up events and collaborations with local institutions, ensuring the widest possible reach and enabling diverse audiences to participate in our programming. Through this holistic approach—spanning exhibitions, performances, educational programs, and networking forums—CIACLA continues to expand its impact, celebrate cultural exchange, and champion the transformative power of contemporary Irish arts.
