About New Art Gallery

Elizabeth Valentine is an Artist, Children's Author and Poet living in a remote part of Sligo along the stunning wild Atlantic Coast. With a deep passion for creativity and community, Elizabeth devised the concept of New Art Gallery in 2018, initially launching it as a pop up exhibition to raise funds for Sligo cancer support.

Her vision grew, and during Boyle Arts Festival of 2022, she secured a permanent space in Boyle. In 2024, the gallery found a new home in the recently renovated beautiful historic An Rioģa.

Elizabeth's goal is to create a vibrant hub of creativity in the Beautiful historic town of Boyle, bringing colour and inspiration to the town and surrounding areas. Beyond being a space to purchase art and crafts, the gallery serves as a community meeting place, offering art classes, artists meet ups and children's art workshops, nurturing both artistic talent and meaningful connections.
