Hello Commonty,
The Spring Fling Board and staff have been busy over the last few months planning a new project. We are calling it the
Evolution of Spring Fling. We are now advertising for a Sustainable Development Project Manager (or Team) for approx. 8
months to work through this exciting development with the Spring Fling Board,
staff and members - you can read the full
brief here.

| Anupa Gardner is the Spring Fling X Wigtown Book Festival artist-in-residence for 2014/15 |
Although we work on projects
throughout the year not directly connected to Spring Fling (the event) such as
youth development, professional development, residencies, and Environmental Art
Festival Scotland, we felt that the time had come for Spring Fling (the
organisation) to take the very natural step evolving into a region-wide visual art and
craft development organisation. We are striving to make an excellent visual art
and craft development organisation, working across the region and with artists
at all stages in their careers, and developing and delivering projects that
artists and makers want, need, and dream. By working carefully through this
process (you'll see the phases if you click through to the brief) we will protect Spring Fling
(the event) which will become the organisations flagship event. There is so
much going on in D&G right now (exciting times indeed for D&G) and we continue
to work in a collaborative and complementary way to our colleagues at The
Stove, Wide Open, Wigtown Book Festival and Dumfries and Galloway Arts
Festival, amongst others. Through this project we will be working
with the Chamber of Arts Regional Convenor and four Area Hub
Convenors and have full
support locally, from Dumfries & Galloway Council, and from Creative
Scotland, of this development.
I
hope that you might consider joining us
on this journey, and in sharing your thoughts and ideas when that time
comes - watch this space for how to be involved - in the meantime please
get in touch with me if you have questions, comments or ideas on leah@spring-fling.co.uk
