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

Comment by Louise Treacy on February 7, 2016 at 10:55: Which administration person are you?

Comment by Louise Treacy on February 7, 2016 at 10:54: Was a lovely morning this morning clouds coming now. Depends on the weather

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on February 7, 2016 at 10:50: Anyone in SEPA feeling like getting the paints out sometime, perhaps next weekend?

Comment by Karen Scannell on January 18, 2016 at 15:37: Thanks MFA for posting here. Having participated in Paint Annapolis 2015 I can't recommend this Event highly enough ! If anyone has any questions from the Participation side of things, please feel free to ask. It's a fantastic opportunity for any artist, and I hope that anyone who thinks they might like to go, will apply and open themselves to the possibility. There is wonderful support for us over there, and of course Plein Air Artists are friendly the world over :)

Comment by Maryland Federation of Art on January 11, 2016 at 20:51: Hello Wexford area artists! Paint Annapolis is a plein air competition and exhibition held in Annapolis, Maryland, USA and hosted by the Maryland Federation of Art. Wexford and Annapolis are sister cities so each year it is guaranteed that one artist from Wexford will be accepted into Paint Annapolis. Paint Annapolis 2016 takes place May 30-June 12 and it is open for entry until February 16th. We hope that some of you are able to enter and potentially make the trip out to join us for a great week of painting! More information can be found at this link http://mdfedart.com/portfolio/paint-annapolis/ and I am happy to answer any questions here or via email at info@mdfedart.org. We wish you the best!

Comment by Jan Ryan on November 1, 2015 at 11:06: Sorry I can't make it today, Sheila, happy painting

Comment by Sheila Mac Nally on November 1, 2015 at 1:37: I'll aim to be there from about 11-3 if anyone's about but can't be sure so I won't make it an event. Maybe next week!

Comment by Tony Robinson on October 31, 2015 at 2:27: It sounds like a great idea, Sheila. However, I expect I'm manning Trevor Geoghegan's show at the Pigyard Gallery. Have a go at posting it as an event (its easy).

Comment by Dick Donaghue on October 30, 2015 at 21:55: Hi Sheila, unfortunately we are still tied up with our exhibitions at the Westgate Heritage Centre in Wexford until Sunday at 5 pm. Call in on your way back from Johnstown's Castle if you have time.
