New York Irish Arts Center Celebrates Opening Night

As reported in Irish Central and New York YIMBY, the New York Irish Arts Center opened last night with an inaugural performance by artist Camille O’Sullivan. Of the Davis Brody Bond-designed building, Irish Central‘s Niall O’Dowd writes, “The physical structure which at four stories high and 21,700 square feet is transformative from the moment you step inside.
