This year’s Spring Fling art and craft open event, on the theme of ‘a brand new adventure’, features more than sixty artists and makers, an outdoor creative commission, an online exhibition, two local pop-up shops, together with online and in-person workshops and talks. Looking forward to its 20th anniversary next year, the festival is normally Scotland’s largest open artists’ and craft studios event, attracting over 10,000 visitors, and calculated to generate over £1.2 million for the economy of Dumfries & Galloway.
