Time and location to be posted in advance both on "Plein Eire Dublin" and "Events" pages on this Plein Eire site.

RSVP on 'Events' for notice to be sent to you in the event of any change in plans or check this Plein Eire Dublin Group page on the morning of a paint-out .

Nominate a time and location with reasonable painting prospects.
Identify a local cafe or hostelry for artists to meet in before and after.
Indicate if there is parking available nearby, and if its free or metered.
Post the suggestion to 'Events'and copy and paste the link to the Comment Wall below on this page.

Members may also propose paint-outs at other times as suits them and ask for other members who may be available to join them.

Comment by Norah Blount on April 4, 2014 at 8:34: Great exhibition Valerie, hope to get out again midweek before it closes as it was so busy last sunday - well worth a visit and hope the demo goes well. I am doing a workshop in Kennedys on sat as otherwise I would have called out again for the demo

Comment by Jean English on April 4, 2014 at 7:34: Hey there.... will there be a paint out in the morning or after the demos in Dun Laoighaire? And if morning where is the meet up?

Comment by Norah Blount on March 25, 2014 at 9:41: It might be a good idea to vary the dates for the Dublin paint-outs (the first sat alywas seems to be busy for me anywat) and get as many hosting as possible as it gives everyone a chance to see somewhere new they may not have been to before. if you know somewhere suitable but cannot host there is a facility on the events page to nominate someone else to host. Hope the demo goes well, I hope to get out to the exhibition sometime over the 2 weeks

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on March 25, 2014 at 8:52: Saturday 5th April. The Dublin group normally go out on the first Saturday of the month.

Comment by Norah Blount on March 25, 2014 at 8:40: What date is the demo Valerie

Comment by Carole Ann Margaret Cullen on March 25, 2014 at 8:33: looking forward to Dun Laoghaire paint out and ddmo

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on March 24, 2014 at 17:54: Would the Boyne Valley Plein Eire group like to join us for the day?

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on March 24, 2014 at 17:51: Excellent idea!

But could someone else host it please, as I will be rather involved in the demo and its aftermath. Myself, Brigid Flynn and Michael Gemell will be read out a bit of prose, and our paintings will be our responses to it. I'm to be representational, Brigid is to be semi-abstract, and Michael's response will be completely abstract. That is to be from 1.00 - to 12.30pm.

In the afternoon, Aidan Hickey and Joan Kavanagh will paint their response to a piece of music from 2.00 - 3.30pm.

Why don't people meet up at the first bit, have lunch in one of Dunlaoghaire's many eateries, and then go along to the second bit.

All the members of the DPSC committee will be there, and anyone interested in joining the club will have a chance to talk to them.

Comment by Norah Blount on March 24, 2014 at 17:18: A paint out in Dunlaoighre would mean getting 2 in one - a visit to the exhibition and a paint out ?

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on March 24, 2014 at 14:40: Hi,

Does anyone have any ideas about where to go for April's paint out?

I'm afraid I can't be there as I will be doing a paint demo at the Dublin Painting & Sketching Club's annual exhibition in the Town Hall in Dunlaoghaire.

The opening is on Sunday 30th March at 2.00pm. Please consider yourselves invited.
