Following consultation with our venue partners, announcements made on the 30th March regarding the vaccine roll out for Covid 19 and the government’s road map for opening up the country;; we have decided in the interest of safety for all artists participating to change our festival dates from June to July.

By then the vaccination rollout will be much further along and a larger percentage of the population will have received their jabs. This will make our festival safer and therefore more enjoyable.

We will still need to have some Covid safety protocols in place but hopefully not as many as last year.

Whatever we do, your safety is our priority. Hope everybody is keeping well and safe and look forward to seeing you all in July.

Dear Artists, in keeping with the Irish government’s five stage plan we have been advised to re-schedule the festival dates to Monday 20 - Sunday 26 July 2020.

More details on www.dublinpleinair.ie

We are happy to do so for the health and safety of everyone involved, which is paramount in every decision we will make for this years festival.

We are fully committed to making our festival the best it can be and feel it is important that the 2020 Dublin Plein Air Festival allows artists to get back to some sort of normality.

There will be a number of variations to this years festival the main ones being ; that the number of participating artists will be limited and all seven venues will be in large open spaces to enable social distancing guidelines. Workshop places will also be limited to accommodate social distancing guidelines.

We are preparing detailed guide lines regarding how each day will be hosted; which we will forward to you and all artists before the festival.

Although these are strange times we will do everything we can to make our festival a very enjoyable event but please be aware a certain flexibility is required to deal with any changing circumstances that may happen in the coming weeks.

We like you continue to monitor the situation very closely.

Needless to say we will keep you updated in the weeks to come.

Comment by Sean Quinn on March 16, 2020 at 18:26: This is not relevant to the general theme,, but in the present circumstances we need stuff to cheer us up, my favourite phrase is "joyful exuberance" and I think this Youtube piece has it. I think it's wonderful but that we could do just as well with one per cent of the paint and a fan brush. What do you think?

Comment by Kyrle Cahill on March 14, 2020 at 22:16: Thanks for clarification Paul, fingers, toes, legs and brushes crossed

Comment by Etain J Feeley on March 14, 2020 at 21:08: Ok, thanks for clarifying Paul, best wishes Étáin
