Named in honor of St. Dymphna, the patron saint of mental health professionals, The Lily of Éire Art and Culture Festival is a three-day event held at the Sheen Center for Thought & Culture in Manhattan. We invite artists, filmmakers, writers, performers, scholars, and mental health professionals to submit proposals that engage with the intersections of art, culture, psychology, and the human condition. We welcome contributions that explore how artistic expression can illuminate the complexities of human experience, foster meaningful dialogue across disciplines, and open new possibilities for understanding psychological life.
