Professional Statement

The Ark, Europe`s first custom-built Children`s Cultural Centre, programmes, promotes and hosts high quality cultural work which is by children, for children and about children.

The Ark is a charitable organisation, founded on the principle that all children, as citizens, have the same cultural entitlements as adults.

We work with a diverse range of Irish and international artists to develop original, inspirational and playful programmes for children (aged between 3- 14) so that they can extend their imaginations and horizons.
