I.NY | The Ireland.New York Project

Since October 2017, The I.NY Project has explored and celebrated the relationship between Ireland and New York | One story at a time

Welcoming artists, speakers, partners & guests from all across Ireland, New York City + State and further afield talking art, culture, music, film, books, politics, diaspora, sport, fashion, food, education, enterprise, science, architecture, religion, past, present, future, like all good relationships should.

The fifth I.NY Festival staged in March of this year, in partnership with Ireland’s national St. Patrick’s Festival. The sixth will stage from March 12th – 19th 2023. For the next few weeks, we’re going to catch our breath a little, gather together the work of the last five years, re-design and refresh the I.NY website, update I.NY projects, and ready everything to jump headlong in to the next 5 years.

Continuing thanks to our friends, partners, artists and audiences. Back live on Saturday, October 1, 2022, to make a range of I.NY shows recorded since 2017 available through this site, announce our first shows for 2023, and introduce some new features, initiatives and opportunities that we’re looking forward to sharing with you. See you very soon.
