This small upstairs gallery tucked away in the Co Waterford Gaeltacht of An Rinn, is a treasure slowly being discovered by canny art lovers and was recently profiled in The Irish Times Magazine, and on RTE 1 Nationwide.

Joan Clancy Gallery situated on the clifftop between Coláiste na Rinne (the famous Irish language college) and the Cunnigar beach overlooking Dungarvan Bay in Co. Waterford, first opened its doors in 2001.

Widow of Tom Clancy a founding member of The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, they had previously lived in New York and Los Angeles where Tom starred on Broadway and in Hollywood movies and TV. Joan, acting as Tom's PA, was used to promoting and dealing with the public, so taking on the responsibility of running a gallery was no different.

You can find an extensive archive of reviews and press releases about the art exhibitions we have held in the gallery elsewhere on this web site.
