Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on July 20, 2013 at 19:33: I can't wait. Have to get the suitcase down from the attic - and be a bit more organised with my framing this year. Imperial sizes and metric sizes are an important shade different to each other.

Comment by Lori Putnam on July 20, 2013 at 13:46: Oh tony, you're being modest. Spectrum Art (Tony's biz) has all sorts of great art supplies AND framing! And , you pass right by it on your way to anywhere in Wexford. Just a hop, skip, and jump from T. Morris pub, Whites Hotel, grocery, pharmacy, department stores, etc. Paint, brushes, panels, mediums, drawing supplies, books, you name it. No worries people. They think of everything at this event. And, prepare yourself for the best fish and chips... Not at the art store of course. :)

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on July 20, 2013 at 9:11: Spectrum will have plenty of spirits and will open early on Monday 29th July for anyone catching the bus or making their own way to Carne Beach.
