Corporate Support

At The Ark, we believe that every child - regardless of their background, ability or circumstance - has the right to experience, enjoy and create art.

Through our rich, year-round programme of theatre, music, literature, visual art and more, we open up creative opportunities for children to explore the world through their own imagination.

In 2024, more than 70% of our events were free of charge, allowing us to welcome children from DEIS schools, children with additional needs, and those who may otherwise face barriers to cultural participation.

But we can’t do it alone.

Your company can play a powerful role in breaking down access barriers and enabling more children to take part in joyful, high-quality arts experiences - experiences that can inspire, empower and last a lifetime.

• Free tickets and transport for children in DEIS schools to attend performances at The Ark.

• Activity packs for children living in Direct Provision or Emergency Accommodation.

• Accessible performances for children with additional needs, including ISL interpretation and sensory-friendly events.

• Investment in new work and commissions by Irish artists.

• Professional development for teachers and educators in creative engagement.

Here at The Ark, we’re passionate about building meaningful partnerships rooted in shared values. If your company believes in the power of the arts to enrich children’s lives, we’d love to connect and explore how we can create something impactful together.
