Céim Arts Honouring Tradition, Inspiring Creativity

Honoring Tradition, Inspiring Creativity
At Céim Arts, our mission is to honor Ireland’s rich intangible cultural
heritage by preserving and celebrating traditional arts, through dance,
song, and drama while inspiring creativity and innovation. Founded by
Joanne Barry and Jonathan Kelliher(formerly of Siamsa Tire, The National
Folk Theatre of Ireland) in 2024, drawing on over 50 years
of combined

experience in the professional arts sector to create
dynamic, inclusive, and collaborative opportunities that bridge tradition
and modern artistic exploration. Our vision is to foster creativity,
experimentation, and discovery through performances, workshops,
masterclasses, and creative partnerships, cultivating spaces where
tradition, imagination, and innovation come together to inspire the next
generation of artists and audiences alike.
