Daily paint outs are open to all those registered for workshops and those who just register for the KPA26 Weekend Pass. You can join us to paint or sketch outdoors in the company of others, in any medium in designated locations over the weekend in Kinvara and within 30 minutes drive. Each paint out will have a named paint out lead (a local or guest plein air artist, identifiable in an orange hi viz jacket) including Tony Robinson, Joe McCaul, Steve Browning and Desmond Downes.
Meet up at the KPA Hub, in The Courthouse, Kinvara Village @11am each morning or go directly the designated location. Artists participating in the daily paint outs are eligible to submit their work to the “Wet Paint” Exhibition in the KAVA Courthouse Gallery. Locations for daily paint outs will be confirmed to registered participants.
Designated leads for the daily paint outs will be posted here in April 2026

Kilcolgan Castle, Kilcolgan Co. Galway
