UpStart is a non-profit arts collective which aims to put creativity at the centre of public consciousness during the Irish General Election Campaign in 2011. We plan to do this by reinterpreting the spaces commonly used for displaying election campaign posters in Dublin City and are calling on all artists to submit work for this exhibition.
The objectives of UpStart are to encourage a debate on the role of the arts in this state. We hope to highlight the importance of creativity and ingenuity when society is in need of direction and solutions, and to emphasize the value of the arts to public life. We believe that the future development of the country requires a healthy cultivation of the Arts.

Hey there I am writing to let you know about the new Donegal Art Festival… I have seen your work and think you should join us!
The premise is this: A three day event combining a 50 artist exhibition, street entertainment and fun for children. It is a family event, but there will be known art buyers invited also, and I am hoping to attract 1000 people over the weekend.
I came up with the idea because there are thousands of under-represented artists begging for the opportunity to show and sell their work in a professional setting. I am looking for 50 artists of various styles. I will be contacting known art buyers to invite them to attend and there will be an auction of the best work (chosen by a well known curator).
The Donegal Art Festival is taking place in the Abbey Hotel in the very centre of Donegal Town on the 12th, 13th & 14th August 2011 – booths for artists are 2mtrx2mtr and cost €150 for the entire weekend. Accommodation is available in the hotel.
It will be a good opportunity to meet other artists and make friends and hopefully make some money too!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me
Kind Regards
