Our Mission
’To raise the profile of the music and arts of Ireland throughout Britain and to celebrate the many contributions that Irish people have made to life in this country’.
The Irish Arts Foundation (IAF) is core funded by the Irish Government and Leeds City Council and is project funded by a number of public and private partners. We work extensively with a number of partners both locally and nationally and pride ourselves in the delivery of high quality professional arts and educational programmes.
The IAF was established in June 1998. We are a Company Ltd by Guarantee (No. 4927919) and a Registered Charity (No. 1101657)
