SEPA is an association of amateur and professional painters who paint together regularly outdoors in S.E. Ireland. All artists are welcome. SEPA organises Ireland's 'Art in the Open' plein air festival. SEPA membership is free. NB. As with all Paint-Outs posted on Plein Eire, these events are simply notifications of intent by one individual to be at a particular place and time to paint. Each member's participation is entirely at his/her own risk. No responsibility for harm or loss of person or property on the part of anyone else is intended or implied.

Here are a few ideas for paint-out venues. Please add your own suggestions and we'll get a schedule together for the coming weeks. Your addfitional recommendations welcome.

Ballinkeele House

Newtownbarry House & Gardens

Dunamore Wood (Borodale) (no facilities)

Rosslare Harbour Lagoon

Tinahely

Wexford Beaches

Wexford Gardens

The Still Pond, near Enniscorthy

As ever, it is weather permitting, so in case the organiser needs to cancel, please indicate by RSVP for each event so a single message will let everyone know if an event is 'On' or 'Off'.

In particular, it seems smaller villages where we have access to coffee and a bite and a chance to say'hello' are sought-after venues. Here are some suggestions:

Duncormick, Screen, Killinick, Lady's Island, Clohamon, Saltmills, Slade

Rain expected to arrive at 1pm so an early start might be the thing. I think I might have coffee after, to make the best of the day.

Comment by Sheila Mac Nally on May 4, 2023 at 18:36: The weather looks to be in our favour once more this weekend and Kilmokea country manor is a lovely location. Coffee in the conservatory from 11 followed by a leisurely stroll in the gardens to pick a spot….

Comment by Sheila Mac Nally on April 27, 2023 at 17:47: Paintout Johnstown castle Sunday april 30th.
Hi all the weather isn’t looking great currently but there are sheltered spots to be had at Johnstown and the cafe is great if you get rained out entirely.

Comment by Sheila Mac Nally on April 21, 2023 at 9:56: Paintout Kilmore Quay Sunday 23rd the forecast looks ok for Sunday but it is April so could be a shower! Meet at the cafè 11am. I can’t make it myself, look forward to seeing your paintings
