New Irish Art, initiated in 1997 and online since Spring 2000 provides a simple, effective means for visual Art to be presented and enjoyed via the World Wide Web. This site functions like an open platform for the presentation of visual art of and about Ireland.

One aim of The New Irish Art website is to leverage the Internet so that original works may be appreciated by the largest possible audience. Another is to encourage budding and semi professional artists to show their work alongside the presentations of more established visual artists.

The focus of the website is to feature original works by visual artists living in, and otherwise associated with, Ireland.
