About the Academy
The Irish Cultural Center grew out of a cooperative public-private partnership between the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department; the Arizona Department of Transportation; a Sister City relationship with Ennis, Ireland; and the Irish Cultural and Learning Foundation, a local non-profit coalition of affiliated Irish and Celtic organizations.
The Academy of Irish and Celtic Studies is a major program of the Irish Cultural Center. The goal of the Academy is to offer the highest quality educational and cultural programming. Offerings include music, dance, art, history, literature, drama, crafts, language, and traditional activities.

 Lifetime musician John Piggott read too many fantasy books as a child and grew up thinking the harp would be a swell instrument to learn...eventually.
"Eventually" turned out to be when he was in his 30's and it has since become the Grande passion of his life. Since then, he has played at many Celtic festivals, gatherings and concerts, renaissance fairs, not to mention corporate events, weddings, workshops, churches and spiritual celebrations. John was a founding member of the seminal Welsh/American traditional band 'Afan'. These days he enjoys bringing new and diverse material to the harp strings with sources ranging from Elvis and Sting to Bach and Henry V111.
John is currently performing with Welshman John Good, our Welsh language, whistle & flute teacher.

 The Irish Cultural Center invites you to join us for a very special celebration and fundraising event for the Irish Language Class’ Study Abroad Program. We want to celebrate the rich culture, traditions, and lifestyles of Ireland as we raise funds to send our students abroad to the county of Donegal, for an intensive training course of the Irish language.
For the evening’s culinary creations we are excited to announce that local celebrity Chef; Michael Snoke (Executive Chef for Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks) will personally be preparing an array of gourmet hors d’oeuvres for every taste. Let the traditional Irish music transport you as we bring to the stage Phoenix’s hottest Irish bands; The Big Fellahs and The Irish Cultural Center Academy Band. Be amazed by the unparalleled foot work of The Maguire Academy of Irish Dance and The Phoenix Irish Step Dancers.
