SUMMARY:Tory Island Painters
DESCRIPTION:Running from July to September. \nThe rugged scenic Tory Island is an island situated 11km of the North-West coast of Co. Donegal. The Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) island is steeped in history and mythology and is the home to the Tory school of painters. \nThe renowned English artist Derek Hill (b.1916- d.2000) became a frequent visitor to the island in the 1950’s where he worked from a small hut studio (formally a Lloyds of London shipping signal hut) painting the wild landscapes and portraits of the islanders. \nOn one such occasion while out painting an islander by the name of James Dixon came upon him while he worked. Derek asked him what he thought of his painting and James simply answered ‘I think I could do better myself’… this amused Derek and it sparked a lasting friendship between them. Derek encouraged James to paint and would send him materials from time to time but not brushes as James preferred to make his own brushes from his donkeys tail. This was the beginning of the Tory school of painters. \nThese artists through their painting captured a unique record of island life. The school of painters that developed included Patsy Dan Rodgers (King of Tory)\, Ruairí Rodgers\, John Dixon and James Rodgers with a second generation including the very talented Anton Meenan. Áras Éanna is delighted to present this exhibition\, showcasing a new generation of artists who continue the legacy of the Tory Island painters\,  a movement born from the chance encounter between Derek Hill and James Dixon in the 1950s

SUMMARY:Michael Mulcahy
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition featuring the first ever artist in residence at Áras Éanna\, Michael Mulcahy\, will open at the arts centre on Friday\, July 8 (8pm). \nMick Mulcahy is one of Ireland’s most famous expressionist artists and showcased his work to the people of Inis Oirr after spending a winter on the island in the late 1980s. From there\, the idea to create an arts centre on our small Gaeltacht island took hold. \nMick recently spent a month in our studio at Áras Éanna (February 2022) after returning to Inis Oirr for our 21st birthday celebrations in July 2021. \nMany visitors to the island saw him produce stunning paintings outdoors\, next to the island’s shop\, last summer. \nHe is a member of Aosdana\, the highest honour given to Irish artists\, and we are delighted to welcome Mick back to Inis Oirr to feature an exhibition of his acclaimed art work at the arts centre this summer. \nHis exhibition of new paintings at Áras Éanna is entitled Nowhere to Hide at Sea.
