Arts Over Borders CLG

Arts Over Borders Company Limited by Guarantee is an Irish arts organisation that creates and delivers cross-border literary and theatrical programmes. Drawing on the rich cultural heritage of the island, the company stages festivals, site-specific performances and public symposia that celebrate writers such as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Brian Friel and Seamus Heaney. Its flagship projects include the ULYSSES European Odyssey (2022-2024), a pan-European series of public artworks and symposia inspired by Joyce's *Ulysses*, and the Happy Days International Beckett Festival in Enniskillen.

The group's portfolio also features the FrielDays Homecoming series (2025-2029), which presents five of Brian Friel's plays in venues across Donegal, Tyrone and Derry/Londonderry, alongside commemorative readings of Heaney's *North*. By collaborating with artists, writers and cultural institutions, Arts Over Borders serves audiences throughout Ireland and the wider European network, fostering dialogue, cultural exchange and a shared literary imagination.
