The annual Draíocht ‘pleinair’ art competition will be held on Sunday 25th August 2024.

This will be our sixth open air art competition and we are hoping for an ever increasing turnout to this popular event.

The competition is open to all levels of expertise with prizes and sponsorship kindly donated by long term supporter, Regeneron.

Entry to the Regeneron sponsored Draíocht Annual Pleinair Art Competition is €30.

Artists pre-register and are allocated a position within the village of Adare at random on the morning of the competition. Artists then set up their easels, equipment and can paint throughout the day until entries are submitted back at the gallery at 4pm. A team of  guest judges will then decide on the prize-winners who will be announced within the hour.

The competition is open to all aged 18 years and you may book your place here online or in Draíocht from today.
