A New Chapter for the Italian Fusion Festival: Introducing the United Arts Club

The Italian Fusion Festival is thrilled to announce its new venue for the 2024 edition: the United Arts Club, a landmark of cultural and artistic heritage in the heart of Georgian Dublin. This historic venue, steeped in over a century of artistic tradition, promises to provide a unique and inspiring backdrop for our multidisciplinary celebration of Italian and international creativity.

A Cultural Hub Since 1907

Founded in 1907 during Ireland’s cultural renaissance, the United Arts Club was envisioned as a space where individuals passionate about the arts could unite, share ideas, and enjoy creative collaboration. Inspired by literary and artistic greats such as W.B. Yeats, George “AE” Russell, and Countess Constance Markievicz, the club was groundbreaking in its inclusivity, welcoming men and women as full members.

For over a century, the United Arts Club has been a vibrant hub for literature, music, painting, drama, and film, hosting exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and poetry readings that enrich Dublin’s cultural landscape. Its rich history and ongoing commitment to fostering artistic dialogue make it the perfect home for the Italian Fusion Festival.

An Inspiring Space for Creativity

The Club’s elegant Georgian architecture and warm, inviting atmosphere create an inspiring environment for artists and attendees alike. Its facilities include a renowned dining room, bar, and even bedroom accommodations, ensuring comfort and conviviality for members and visitors.

Throughout its history, the club has welcomed an eclectic community of painters, sculptors, filmmakers, poets, and arts patrons, making it a true melting pot of creativity. Today, the United Arts Club continues to embrace its founding mission of lively interaction and debate, providing an ideal setting for the Italian Fusion Festival’s unique mix of artistic disciplines and cultural fusion.
