However in Donegal, where every July there is a county-wide bilingual arts festival, the organisers have completely reinvented this year's festival which is now under way and drawing attention from across the world.
Their main concern, Mr Brown said, was how to support the artists, so they contacted all of them and asked them to re-imagine their work and how it could be presented to an audience which would now be primarily online. The only live performances will be by Little John Nee, who will do a series of pop-up, solo performances in seven different towns and villages in the county.
"Seachtain leis na Mooneys" was to bring visitors to west Donegal to learn from the famous family of traditional musicians. Instead, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh said, the family got together and composed a new song and new tunes which will be premiered on YouTube during the festival in a programme in which they also share the creative process with viewers.
Glebe House is the home of the late artist Derek Hill, who encouraged the islanders on Toraigh to paint.
