Is éard é ‘Drop Everything’ ná féile dhébhliantúil atá cultúrtha, comhaimseartha agus a bhíonn ar siúl in Inis Oírr. Is é Inis Oírr an t-oileán is lú d'Oileáin Árann, é suite ar bhruach an Atlantaigh agus oidhreacht nádúrtha agus cultúrtha shaibhir aige. Bíonn rannpháirtithe náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta as meascán tionscal cruthaitheach i láthair aige agus bíonn an deireadh seachtaine leagtha amach le malartú cruthaitheach idir ealaíontóirí agus lucht féachana araon a spreagadh agus a chothú. Le ‘Drop Everything’ bítear tógtha go mór le smaointe nua agus tógtar an t-am chun iad a mheas. Is don dream é a bhíonn ag cruthú agus don dream a dteastaíonn uathu a bheith ag cruthú. An dream ar fad a thacaíonn le ‘Drop Everything’, bhuel sin iad an dream a chruthaíonn é, bíodh gur lena n-ealaín, a gcuid scileanna, a gcuid ama nó tríd an imeacht a mhaoiniú é.

The best part of it all is that you come away with a renewed hope that some creatives aren’t shielding their ideas book from potential thieves, but rather cattle-prodding them into existence with new friends.
