[Elaine Hurst]

What are the dates for the 2011 Art in the Open festival?  I seem to remember that some things went on before, or after it.  What would be a good time to arrive?  Thank you!

Thank you, Tony.  Although it is early, I am watching the prices on tickets.  I saw one for $429.  I think it must have been a mistake!  If not, I may get it!

Sounds like a bargain. Go girl!

The 2011 registration is not quite ready but you have a place reserved. Trying to get US dollar payment sorted online and will contact you when it is working.

Tony--didn't know if you were accepting yet, but after our email exchange, I thought I'd jump in and say I'm coming officially---but I will wait for the application

For anyone thinking about it, here's what Galway-based artist john Dinan has to say about Art in the Open in his 2011 course brochure....

 

"Wexford's  Plein Air Painting Festival:
This is a great festival of painting over the August Bank holiday weekend
for absolutely every level of ability. There’s great craic, plenty of events,
demonstrations and an exhibition of all the outdoor paintings done over
the weekend.
A brilliant experience and I’ ll be back again painting there this year.
Join me on the streets and quays of Wexford for a great experience.
Check out http://artintheopen.org for details of a great plein air painting
weekend with over 100 painters like you from Ireland and abroad."

See John's website for more details of his courses.
