Teach Ban art gallery is run and curated by artist Tom O’Rourke. The gallery exhibits the work of established artists and places special emphasis on cultivating emerging artists of any age. Painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture form the basis of the various exhibitions in the gallery. Teach Ban is situated near an ancient monastic site rich in history beside St Columba’s Church in Drumcliffe.
The gallery building is a modern extension to an old stone cottage and maintains the same exterior roof height. The pitched interior ceiling gives greater height and facilitates the northern light which streams through the large windows and glass doors at the rear of the building. Through these can be seen Ben Bulben mountain and the trees which frame the burial place of W.B Yeats, internationally famous Irish poet.

Inishmurray
The remote and mystical Island of Inishmurray, four miles from the coast of Sligo, is renowned for its preservation as an early Christian site, for its wild scenery and as a wildlife sanctuary. St Molaise founded a Christian Monastery here in the 6th century, the remains of which are remarkably intact to this day.
The island was attacked by vikings and many of the buildings were destroyed in 807 A.D. The local population peaked at just over 100 in the 1880s but the last residents moved to the mainland on 12th November 1948. Some of the buildings are still visible including 15 houses and the island's only school. The site remained a pilgrimage destination right up to recent times.
Go to Inish Murray Island Trips for information regarding trips to the island...
