Kinvara Plein Air is a not-for-profit community event organised by a team of volunteers who are all members of Kinvara Area Visual Arts (KAVA).

KPA25 was supported by funding from Galway County Council Community Support Schemes. We were most grateful for the support and sponsorship that we received from a wide range of organisations, businesses and individuals – in our local community and further afield.

We look forward to continued support from our generous sponsors for KPA26 and invite others to support us in maintaining and growing a vibrant, sustainable festival.
