-Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson

Submissions Policy

IAC is committed to providing a creative home for Irish and Irish American artists, as well as those whose background is not Irish but whose work explores the evolving Irish question as it relates to New York, America, Ireland, and the world. At present, IAC accepts proposals from artists at all stages in their careers working in the areas below:

IAC accepts proposals on a continuous basis throughout the year and programs are generally scheduled 8-18 months in advance. While IAC is sometimes able to accommodate programming requests in a shorter timeframe, please keep this in mind when submitting materials. Due to the large volume of submissions‚ there is a 6–12 month review period for all unsolicited proposals. Please note that Irish Arts Center is unable to respond to individual applicants.

Irish Arts Center does not accept submissions in hard copy. Please send submissions by email to submissions@irishartscenter.org. Please indicate both the discipline and the project title in the subject line (i.e. “Live Music—Performer Name”)
