iBAM! POP-UPS

New Places. New Possibilities.

iBAM! is expanding beyond the boundaries of a single annual event and bringing our mission into new communities through a growing series of thoughtfully curated POP-UP experiences.

Rather than taking individual artists and performers on tour, iBAM! POP-UPS create opportunities to discover and showcase exceptional Irish and Irish-American talent connected to the communities and regions where each event takes place.

From music and literature to visual arts, cultural conversations, performances, and unexpected collaborations, each POP-UP will be shaped by its location, its participants, and the possibilities of bringing people together through culture.

Bringing Irish and Irish-American arts, music, literature, and culture to communities across the country.
