One To Watch


Spring Fling selection panelists, Washington Garcia Gallery, have been named one of The List's "Hot 100" Scottish people or organisations to watch.

Highlights included Use History Autonome, the first solo exhibition at Washington Garcia by sculptor Nick Evans, a former GSA student; the first Scottish exhibition by London film artists Shezad Dawood and a new body of work by Mark Briggs, winner of the Washington Garcia Residency 2009.

Spring Fling Christmas Party 2009

Huge thanks to the main schemers and organisers of the Spring Fling Christmas party who were Hazel Campbell and Lizzie Farey pictured here during the preparation last friday afternoon. Held in Rhonehouse village hall all members of SFOS were invited to bring a pot luck Indian meal and meet other members and Gracefield Arts Team staff.

Good food, a good quiz - all SF questions of course, and a great guess the crafts person that was the baby in the picture competition, an A5 piece of art work swap and great company. How much better can it be? Lizzie Farey, on behalf of the village hall committee offers "especial thanks for the very generous donation towards our Village Hall roof repairs and new lighting. A brilliant example of Spring Fling's impact on local communities!"
To Rhonehouse Village Hall we say thank you for having us.
