Balla Bán
Discover a hidden gem in the heart of Dublin
Balla bán, a contemporary art gallery full of character and creativity. Walk through its doors located in Dublin’s Westbury Mall (off Grafton Street) and you’ll find a diverse collection spanning oil paintings, watercolours, mixed-media works, limited edition prints, photography, and even conceptual and up-cycled art.

The gallery also features works by a wide roster of artists from both Ireland and abroad: you might encounter contemporary pieces, abstract or detailed life studies, or bold conceptual creations.
If you’re looking to take a piece of Dublin home with you the gallery offers worldwide shipping, so acquiring your favourite artwork is easy even from afar.
