Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum is proud to present the inaugural

Irish Arts and Literature Showcase 2025

In partnership with the National Library of Ireland, Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, Seattle UNESCO City of Literature and the Seattle Public Library and our presenting partners Town Hall Seattle, Hugo House, and Seattle Public Library, we invite you to immerse yourself in a three-day event dedicated to celebrating the richness of Ireland’s literary and artistic traditions.

Committed to fostering literature and the arts as vital forces in civic life, and affirming the power of creativity to connect communities across oceans and generations, we invite all to participate in this new and exciting cultural exchange between the Emerald Isle and the Emerald City.

Through curated lectures, artist talks, music performances, writing workshops and conversations, Folio warmly invites you to join us in celebrating the enduring bonds between our two literary communities.
