ark cultural centre for children
Devotes itself exclusively to an innovative arts programme for children. Funding is applied towards the 20% scheme, whereby schools operating in areas of socio-economic disadvantage charge reduced entrance costs to facilitate attendance.

“The American Ireland Fund grant was the first contribution pledged to The Ark towards the commission of artwork for Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children. It was of tremendous assistance to The Ark both in terms of getting the project off the ground and also in terms of securing additional funding for the project.”
