Irish Screen America supports and guides Irish media-makers by showcasing their work and fostering partnerships in the two largest cities for the entertainment industry in the United States – Los Angeles and New York.

CIACLA is a new contemporary Irish arts center which promotes contemporary Irish culture and local diverse communities through a multidisciplinary program, in collaboration with local and international cultural partnerships in Bergamot Station, Santa Monica, in Los Angeles.
Their program features some of the most exciting talent from Ireland, with a multidisciplinary program of visual arts, theatre, performance, dance, music, literature, design, and film. The people behind CIACLA are Matthew Nevin and Ciara Scanlan – co-directors of MART Gallery, in Dublin, who also have a long history of curating Irish art exhibitions in Los Angeles. After nearly a decade of partnering with venues to promote Irish Artists in Los Angeles, MART is taking the logical next step by opening CIACLA – a dedicated space to showcasing Irish arts and culture in Los Angeles.
This celebration of Irish film will take place on July 6th @ 6pm. For more information and their full program visit www.ciacla.com.
