CJAC (original) (raw)
Thank you for helping complete Phases 1 & 2 of CJAC’s Capital Campaign - now we are fundraising for Phase 3.
Together, we have made major strides in strengthening Celtic Junction Arts Center through sustainability, security, and environmental improvements - including solar installation and a transformed entrance and lobby.
Phase 3 is our next major step forward: expanding the building footprint, completing a three-floor lift for full accessibility, and creating a vibrant Irish pub and social gathering space where we can connect in community. With over 25% of funding raised, momentum is building as we continue shaping a welcoming home for Celtic arts and culture.

Join Us
The Shamrock Shore
Join us for an Irish radio show hosted by Brian Miller. It airs on 88.5 FM (Jazz88) in the Twin Cities on Saturdays 12-1pm Central Time and is then available online at Jazz88. The show is a co-production of The Celtic Junction and Jazz88.
The Knitting Circle
Join us on select Sundays from 4:30-7:30 pm (when there isn’t a show in the building) for a relaxed, drop-in knitting circle. This is an easygoing space to work on your projects, share skills, and enjoy time together. Christine will lead the circle and can offer support and access to patterns. Bring your knitting, settle in, and enjoy an evening of making, conversation, and community!
Irish Music Session
Sunday Irish music session at the Celtic Junction Arts Center. Join us most Sundays at 4 pm for the Learner’s Session and at 6 pm for the Regular Session. Co-hosted by Center for Irish Music. Have questions? Write [email protected]

Resident Partners
Since its founding, CJAC has collaborated with three organizations who reside within The Celtic Junction building: O'Shea Irish Dance, Center for Irish Music, and Irish Fair of Minnesota. CJAC would not be the same without their partnership and collaboration!
CJAC is supported, in part, by Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Emigrant Support Programme.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
Community Giving: CJAC received 44% of its operating budget from community donors in 2024.
