About Island Gallery

At Island Gallery we specialise in contemporary Irish art.

We have the good fortune to live on Sherkin Island, an island off the south west coast of Ireland. It is known as the Island of the Arts as it is a magnet, drawing artists to it’s shores for decades. Sherkin is host to a BA and an MA in Visual Art on the island and, as a gallery, we are a member of the national association, VAI, Visual Artists Ireland.

Our artists have been personally selected by Island Gallery, with each piece of art sourced directly from the artist’s studio.

The in-house photography studio photograph, colour match and reference each artwork before it is made available to you in our Gallery Shop.

Each artwork is signed by the artist, some on the reverse, some on the front, and each comes with certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
