Celebrating 60 years!

The Dublin Art Society (DAS) was formed in 1961 and has had many well known artists as members throughout the decades and that has continued to present day. We have a mixture of over 60 talented professional and amateur artists in our ranks.


  • “To be an artist… you have to be very severe with your amount of energy… To have an overriding hobby, that's the secret. Mine was an overriding hobby, I couldn't get rid of it.”

    Mary Swanzy

  • “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way—things I had no words for.”

    Georgia O Keeffe

  • “Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.”
