All across Dumfries and Galloway 95
exhibitors are getting ready to throw open their studio doors to visitors from the
UK and beyond.
And this year many of them are introducing
evening opening for the first time, so you can get round even more painters,
illustrators, printmakers, photographers, jewellers, textile designers,
ceramicists and others each day.

| A still from the SFRM movie - showing Will Barras and Amy Winstanley at work |
For a foretaste of something very special –
the Spring Fling Rural Mural project – you can see the new mini-movie which can
be seen at https://vimeo.com/95804445
SFRM has seen street artists from the UK and
Europe collaborate with locally-based artists to produce a series of fabulously
colourful artworks on everything from houses to barns.
Leah Black, Spring Fling Director, said: “There’s a huge amount to enjoy at this
year’s Spring Fling, and the Rural Murals all over Dumfries and Galloway, are a
special highlight.

Some extra SFRM info...
For
anyone who will be studio hopping this weekend and who would like to
search out all the murals forming part of #SFRM - we have made an extra
map.
There
are 6 SFRM main sites marked on the Spring Fling map and brochure.
Since then we have added another 7 'Unexpected Things' which have been
adorned by Spring Fling and Recoat artists - one of which is a live
tractor paint over the weekend, by FiST.
