Irish Arts Center has announced Emmy award-winning comedy icon and The Late Show host Stephen Colbert and former UBS Americas anda Wealth Management Americas chief operating officer Kathleen B. Lynch as honorees of their 2023 Spirit of Ireland Gala, on Friday, November 17 at Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers in New York City.
As they conclude our second full year of programming in their landmark new home on 11th Avenue, they will also be joined at the Gala by longtime honorary chairs Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson, with a special performance by the Irish Afro-Soul singer-songwriter Loah, a frequent and much beloved Irish Arts Center visiting artist since her first appearance with them in 2016.
The annual Spirit of Ireland Gala supports their extraordinary multidisciplinary artistic programming and community education, allowing them to support hundreds of Irish artists and deliver first-rate cultural experiences at an accessible cost to tens of thousands of audiences of all backgrounds, in an environment of great Irish hospitality, year after year.
