Visit our Art Gallery enjoy our exhibition Irish Art, Mayo Artists & Achill Art and Crafts
| Dánlann Yawl Art Gallery/Painting School was established by Seosamh Ó Dálaigh in 1985 in Dooega, Achill Island. Over the years, it has gone from strength to strength. The culmination of this success was the establishment in 1998 of Seosamh and Nora’s Art Gallery/Coffee Shop at their home in Owenduff, Tonragee 4miles from Achill Sound . Next to the Gallery is The Old Stable Studio, where Seosamh works and holds his painting courses. Seosamh’s original paintings in oils, watercolours and pastels are for sale in the Gallery . In addition to these paintings, one can also view and purchase a selection of local arts and crafts. The Gallery also hosts a visiting exhibition of a chosen artist. Presently, Rosemary Carr ROI paintings are being shown. |

 Achill Yawls off Clare Island |
The Gallery got its name from the traditional Achill sailing boat- The Yawl- used by the people of Achill as a work boat for hundreds of years. “Dánlann Yawl” was an obvious name choice and his depictions of the yawl are almost a signature brand! Today, the Achill Yawl is given new life through the Annual Yawl Sailing Festival. The Gallery building is perfectly situated on a sheltered sea inlet off the R319 Mulranny - Achill Road, overlooking the magnificent Cleggan mountain range, with breathtaking views of Croagh Patrick to the South. Adjacent is the Geat Western Greenway Cycle/Walk track from Achill to Westport. This picturesque area is a pleasant resting spot for visitors to Achill Island/Curraun Peninsula. |
