Supporting the Future
CIACLA is more than an arts organization; it’s a movement. As we stride towards establishing a permanent center, we’re committed to:
- Deepening our roots in LA through collaborations with local and global cultural partners.
- Consolidating support networks, ensuring a sustainable future for Irish arts in the USA’s west coast.
- Growing our circle of patrons, members, and institutional partners from both the US and Ireland.
Your support is a cornerstone of this vision. With your help, the legacy of Irish culture in LA will not just endure, but thrive.
CIACLA will continue to develop lasting relationships to create a sustainable financial future for the organisation, while continuing to develop lasting donor relationships with members, patrons and institutional aid from the US and Ireland to create a sustainable financial future for the organisation.
As we fundraise towards a permanent center, CIACLA will continue to facilitate and promote cultural events & exhibitions in collaboration with local and international cultural partnerships. The success of our continued programming is evidence of the need for a venue to promote Irish Culture on the west coast of the US.
