Our Mission
The mission of the Omaha Irish Cultural Center is to celebrate, preserve and promote Irish culture and heritage through Irish educational, cultural, artistic, athletic and social activities and by creating strategic partnerships with organizations and individuals in Ireland and the U.S. with the aim of bringing together Irish Americans and those interested in Irish culture in our community.
Our Vision
The Omaha Irish Cultural Center’s vision is an ambitious one: to create and maintain a multi-purpose facility so that current and future generations can participate in and celebrate activities that promote and celebrate Irish culture and heritage. The primary aim is to provide a physical “center” with a theater, library, social hall, museum and meeting facilities. The center will be used for lectures, festivals, concerts, socials, plays and classes in Irish history, arts, music, language and dance as well as many other Irish themed activities.
This center will serve as a focal point for the celebration of Irish culture and history through a wide variety of activities, events and programs which promote and showcase Irish culture and heritage for those of Irish descent and all who wish to learn more about the Irish nation. This work will be in collaboration with other Irish-related organizations, individual artists and performers, educational and cultural institutions and the government of Ireland.
Our Goal
The Omaha Irish Cultural Center seeks to establish a brick and mortar center in Omaha in this decade to provide a home for the local Irish American community to celebrate our shared culture and heritage now and for generations to come.
