DAS Annual Exhibition 2025
Our Annual Exhibition took place on the weekend of Friday 7th November 2025 at Dalkey Town Hall. Our show was opened by Irish art critic and journalist, John P O’ Sullivan.
There were 135 paintings at the exhibition, representing 51 of our artists, and arranged by curators Eleanor Phillips and Colm Brophy of Signal Arts Centre. Over 700 art lovers came to see our work over the course of the weekend.
Our raffle prize was a limited edition print titled 'Marmalade ó Mamó', generously donated by Sheila Mac Nally. We raised €1000 for Pieta House. Thank you Sheila!
Our member’s painting competition “As far as the eye can see” was sponsored by Evans Art Supplies. Judged by John P O’ Sullivan and won by artist Sheila Mac Nally. Second place went to Goretti Murphy.
It was lovely to see so many people connect over their love of art.
