POP – A Guide to Planning Outdoor Events
This guide is the result of the Planning for Outdoor Performance (POP) partnership initiative with 5 Local Authority Arts Offices: (Roscommon – lead partner, Cork City, Kerry, Laois and Tipperary) and National Resource Organisations: Irish Street Arts, Circus & Spectacle Network (ISACS), Performing Arts Forum (formerly Theatre Forum), Poetry Ireland and Music Network. This initiative took place from Autumn 2023 until Autumn 2024. It was funded by the Invitation to Collaboration scheme by The Arts Council of Ireland, with additional Local Authority support. Development management services were provided by Promenade.
POP aims to support more groups to feel confident about creating art in public spaces by
providing the necessary information and tools. It brought together the aforementioned
Local Authorities through the delivery of a training programme and series of pilot.
