We invite you to join a special group of patrons and supporters of contemporary Irish arts – Cáirde (Friends of) Solas Nua.
Cáirde members’ generosity is vital to Solas Nua fulfilling our mission. With Cáirde’s commitment and encouragement we are able to nurture and promote professional artists in Ireland and support them in sharing their work with U.S. audiences, traveling to Washington, D.C., along with developing local and international partnerships and collaborations.
As a Cara (Friend) of Solas Nua, your support would enable us to add the rich, distinctive and contemporary voice of a rapidly changing, diverse Ireland to the other cultural voices in the Washington, D.C., metro region. In a cultural sense, Solas Nua aims to create a community without borders, creating meaningful moments with art at the core. At our events, members of the Irish diaspora can connect with each other and with other groups, fostering a sense of global community while engaging with contemporary Irish arts.
Cáirde Solas Nua is the key to building long-term financial sustainability for Solas Nua and to help us plan confidently for the future
