Summer 2019 Program overview

Through a program focused on public engagement, CIACLA showcased multidisciplinary contemporary art projects that engaged with local communities and interrupted the vision of what ‘Ireland’ is. Between June and September 2019, our Center in Bergamot Station, Santa Monica operated as a creative network for Irish and local partners to showcase their activities; through a programme which supported work that was new, experimental and unrestricted. CIACLA facilitated collaborative events with local artists and cultural partners while also showcasing artists, curators and institutions based in Ireland. As we move forward we aim to build on these successes and secure a permanent space to continue these activities.
