As stated on the city of Dublin, Ireland’s website, “The arts are a unique and fundamental part of Dublin’s identity. By leading, developing and working in partnership, we support artists, arts organisations and the city’s communities to deliver quality arts experiences that contribute to Dublin’s cultural life and its reputation as a modern vibrant city, rich in heritage.” This is a message that San Jose, as the 10th largest city and one of the richest in the United States, can learn from and grow in to. San Jose has the potential to be a major cultural draw for the entire Silicon Valley region if it recognizes this opportunity, preserves & supports the arts and cultural districts, and brands these unique assets regionally, statewide and nationally. Join us for an evening of conversation about art in our cities, and what San Jose can learn from its sister city of Dublin. Co-presented by the San Jose Stage Company and San Jose-Dublin Sister City Program.
