Gaeltacht thair tir Chona - RUTLAND ISLAND

The paint out on Saturday, 13 July 2024 is on Rutland island, off the coast of Burtonport. You might have seen it from the Arranmore ferry. 

Rutland island is inhabited with eight houses, more are in the sand or in ruins, and there are remains of a fishing processing facility from the 1800s as well as a beach that goes along one side of the island along with coves and rocks on the other.  

We will depart at the Burtonport ferry terminal at 10am sharp on the rip and return at 5pm. The cost of the boat is €20. Please make sure to be there for 9.45am, with the fare in cash. Be sure to come on time as the boat will depart with - or without you. 

We will spend the day on the island so bring everything you might need from layers to add on or take off as needed, rain gear so you do not miss it when you need it, sunscreen, a hat, a light lunch, drink of your choosing, chair and of course your art materials or whatever you want to spend your time doing. Painting assistants, family and friends are all welcome and all get the same rate. All are welcome to come along in body - and mind. 

You MUST confirm your attendance - and size of your party - to ensure that there is a seat on the boat for you.
