Planning for Outdoor Performance (POP) is a partnership initiative and events series with 5 Local Authority Arts Offices (including Roscommon - lead partner, Cork City, Kerry, Laois and Tipperary) with National Resource Organisations: Irish Street Arts, Circus & Spectacle Network (ISACS), Poetry Ireland, Music Network and Performing Arts Forum. Management services provided by Promenade.

The initiative is funded by the Invitation to Collaboration scheme by The Arts Council of Ireland, with additional local authority support. It brings together the aforementioned Local Authorities through the delivery of a training programme, series of pilot outdoor arts events in new public spaces and Guide for running outdoor arts events. POP aims to develop a framework and a training programme around the importance and practical needs for creating art in public spaces.

​

​The POP Guide to running outdoor arts events will be available in Spring 2025.
