The Port Fairy Belfast Lions Club will not run its annual art show this year.
The show is normally held at the Port Fairy Senior Citizens Clubrooms and takes place over 10 days - beginning in late December and finishing early January.

It draws up to 300 works from artists across the state and attracts strong patronage, including many in the town for the summer holiday period.
Lions club member Stewart Hunter said at the time when forward planning had to begin for the art show, COVID restrictions were uncertain, making it impossible to know what laid ahead.
"It was all just very uncertain and we just felt it was best to hold it off for another year," Mr Hunter said.
"The art show has been going for a long time and it is a major fundraiser for the club, but there wasn't much we could do.
"It has a great reputation as a really good art show so we don't want to do it half-hearted. We have our Christmas raffle happening and will have spinning wheels at the market so hopefully we can raise some good funds from those activities."
