Art and the bog

The unique landscape of our bogs has inspired artists, writers and poets for centuries.

In 2023, the Abbeyleix Bog Project accepted art submissions from the public for its annual calendar and was was delighted with the response. It is through the generosity of all the artists who submitted, the businesses of Abbeyleix, Portlaoise and Ballyroan and the public who bought the calendars that this project was such a success.

Please enjoy this art inspired by Abbeyleix Bog.
