A BRIEF HISTORY
Dermot O’ Grady is a totally self made Businessman. A family man with four children and a loving and understanding wife, Phyl. Dermot has always been interested in the arts, from as far back as 1985 when he worked in the Hotel Business, Dermot's dream was to open an Art Gallery in his native Dublin. First beginning in 1993 as a humble 300 sq-ft unit in the Westbury Mall, which was made available on a temporary basis until it was let, Dermot tried an experiment of letting the wall space to Artists for a monthly fee. This worked quite well until the shop unit became let.
After a short period he rented a premises on Sth Great George’s St between Decwells Hardware Store and The Doll's Hospital. The Castle Art Gallery traded well and was very popular but Dermot saw that the only thing to do was to get nearer to Grafton Street and more footfall so in 1995 Dermot made inquiries with the management of The St Stephens Green Ctr as to the possibility of renting the vacant corridor on the top floor. Michael Stokes the general manager took on the idea with great enthusiasm and The Green Gallery was born.
The Green Gallery is to this day trading successfully. Still run by Dermot O'Grady. the art space has become extremely popular for artist and collector alike with its brightly lit and easily approachable casual style. The gallery enjoys phenomenal passing trade and has since gained an excellent reputation.
