Ireland to Fund Year-Long Cultural Festival in U.S.

“Encompassing 400 events in 40 states [throughout 2011], the project, ‘Imagine Ireland,’ will finance programming related to the country at major New York cultural institutions such as the New York Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It will also support U.S. tours by at least three of Ireland’s historic theaters: the Abbey, Gate and Druid.”
