I read somewhere that “The way to do, is to be” and I think it sums up my “Essence of Mulranny” experience. At the retreat I could truly just “be” in the creative space, in an environment that is exceptionally inspiring, nourishing and fun! As a result I was super productive and creative!

“Mulranny Arts is such a beautiful dichotomy: a contemporary art aesthetic caught in a time that is both historic and magical. My time at the art retreat was so nurturing, educational, and fun. What a beautiful place to find such beautiful people. I can’t wait to come back.”

“Everything about the retreat was so incredible. Everyone's kindness who worked for EOM, the accommodations and lovely lunches were all so terrific!! I also loved the beautiful Irish scenery and Colum was the most amazing tour guide. I loved his sense of humor and lightheartedness.”

From all of us here at EOM

You are warmly invited to stay a while.

We invite you to imagine standing on the panoramic hillside of our studio, taking in the spectacular views of Clew bay and Croagh Patrick (Ireland’s holy mountain).

Open your heart to the profoundly moving drama of constantly shifting Atlantic skies, reflecting an ever changing light show on the bay. The wildness and drama of this spectacular area belie the peace and connection you will feel to Ireland and to this very special place.

Lay on a blanket in the heather and watch the stars emerge on a clear night or walk along the rocky shores, to gather shells, driftwood and memories. Find yourself letting go of the stress of everyday life, feel the mystery and beauty of this land, awakening your senses.

This unspoiled place provide a safe place of inspiration and experimentation to stretch your skills in whatever medium you are working on, in an amazing state of the art studio..
