The Ark, Dublin

The Ark, Dublin is located in Dublin, Ireland on 11a Eustace Street Temple Bar. The Ark, Dublin is rated 4.7 out of 5 in the category performing arts in Ireland. Who we are: The Ark, Europe’s first cultural centre for children, creates original cultural programmes for children in a purpose-built venue in Dublin's Temple Bar. What we do: By creating a diverse programme of theatre, dance, music and visual art, we seek to achieve the highest standards of arts practice for children aged 2-12 through performances, exhibitions and workshops with leading Irish and international artists. Why we do it: The Ark was founded on the principle that children should enjoy the same cultural rights and access to high-quality arts experiences as adults. We share our specialist knowledge with teachers, parents, artists, community workers, cultural organisations and policy makers. Who comes to The Ark: Since 1995, over half a million people have experienced The Ark. We cater to schools and families with our year-round programming. Our work evolves through partnerships, touring and research as well as CPD (Continuing Professional Development) workshops for teachers and artists. The Ark aims to facilitate access to its work for all children including DEIS schools (Delivering Equality Of Opportunity In Schools) and by programming relaxed performances for children with special needs. How do we do it: Public funding only makes up 60% of our income so we rely on ticket sales, grants and donations from companies and individuals to enable us to create inspirational cultural experiences for all children. Supporting The Ark: By working together, we can create a bespoke corporate partnership that meets the needs of your organisation, mirrors your values and fulfils your CSR objectives. We offer unique staff engagement activities, including opportunities to entertain employees or clients and their families, in our year-round centre.
