Drop Everything is a contemporary arts & culture organisation, based on Inis Oírr, Aran Islands, Ireland.
Founded in 2012, DE consists of a residency programme, education programme and every two years produces a weekender of showcases, performances, and lectures.
Drop Everything brings together national and international participants from a cross section of the creative industries. Offering opportunities for artists in a very unique location –situated on the edge of the Atlantic, Inis Oírr is the smallest of the Aran Islands and has a rich natural and cultural heritage.
Drop Everything is about getting excited by new ideas and taking the time to consider them. It’s for people who do and people who want to.
Value System:
Drop Everything is built by generosity – created by everyone who contributes, whether that’s with their art, their skill, their time or by funding the event.
Specific projects are made possible through public funding bodies.
Drop Everything takes no corporate sponsorship or partners.
