The Eakin Gallery, a family run business and one of Ireland’s leading art galleries, was established in 1979 from their High Street premises in Portadown. Subsequently they held several exhibitions at various venues throughout Northern Ireland before opening their doors on Lisburn Road, Belfast in 1989 where they traded for over 30 years.

In 2022, due to a huge shift towards online sales and customers choosing to browse online instead of instore, they took the decision to move their business online, whilst continuing to offer various viewing options. Paintings can be viewed, by appointment, at our viewing room just outside Moira, or alternatively at your home.

Specialising in 20th and 21st century fine Irish art, Eakin Gallery has gained reputation in stocking a large selection of traditional and contemporary Irish paintings and is one of Northern Ireland’s longest standing commercial art galleries. Dedicated to promoting local emerging artists and established artists alike they continue to host regular solo exhibitions and group shows throughout the year.

The Eakin Gallery is interested in acquiring works by leading Irish artists, regularly shown at the gallery, such as William Conor, James Humbert Craig, Maurice C Wilks, Frank McKelvey, Colin Middleton, Basil Blackshaw, Paul Henry, Percy French, Markey Robinson, Louis le Brocquy, William Scott, Tom Carr, J B Vallely, Charles McAuley, Cecil Maguire, George Callaghan, etc.
