Spring Fling Artist Residency Programme at Wigtown Book Festival 2009
Deadline for Applications: 9am on Wednesday 1 July 2009
Spring Fling Open Studios invites applications for an artist residency at Wigtown Book Festival from 23 September to 4 October 2009. The artist will then be expected to present their artwork in Wigtown during Spring Fling 2010 (29 to 31 May). This means that the residency guarantees participation in Spring Fling 2010 for the successful artist.
Spring Fling is the most successful open studios event of its kind in Scotland and a major tourist event in Dumfries and Galloway (www.spring-fling.co.uk).
A decade ago Wigtown became Scotland's National Book Town. Since then this tiny town has been transformed into a distinguished literary capital, while its book festival has grown into one of the autumn's biggest national arts gatherings (www.wigtownbookfestival.com).
The residency is an opportunity for an artist based in Dumfries and Galloway to live and work in Wigtown for 12 days in the lead-up to and during Wigtown Book Festival 2009 and to create artwork inspired by the town and/ or the Wigtown Book Festival.
