Dublin Plein Air Painting Festival

Dublin Plein Air Painting Festival is a week long painting festival running from the 18th - 24th of June. An exciting new summer festival is on its way to Fingal and North county Dublin. Painters from Ireland and all over the world will descend on the region.

Four plein air workshops are also part of the festival, where you'll be taught the tricks of the trade when painting plein air (out doors).

The festival will visit seven different towns and villages in Fingal. The venues are Balbriggan, Donabate, Skerries, Swords, Malahide, Rush and Howth.

    Congratulations to Paul D'Arcy and his team for a most professionally run festival and fun-week of plein air painting in Dublin. 

  • Sally Downey

    Thank you to Paul and his team for a wonderful week of painting.  The organisation was impeccable and the atmosphere was friendliness and enjoyment.  You were there each day with an enthusiastic welcome and although the work produced each evening was of such a high standard I, for one, was  encouraged not to feel intimidated.

    Roll on 2018.

  • Paul D'Arcy

    Thank you Sally and John,

    friendliness and enjoyment is what it's all about and if you get a painting out of it all the better :)

  • Norah Blount

    Thank you Paul and your family and volunteers and I echo Sally and John's sentiments.  I also loved seeing each day's paintings each day and also felt under no pressure - a lovely week and lots learned too.
