wmpaf - direction of travel

 

All has been quiet on the Frilly front - we've been keeping our heads down, applying for things like crazy to ensure we make it through the winter, and cracking on with existing projects like the papercut tests mentioned previously. (and, hopefully, we'll have more to show from that in the next couple of weeks!)

In the meantime - we've been continuing our involvement in WMPAF - West Midlands Participatory Arts Forum - which is a group of professionals from across the region meeting semi-regularly to discuss issues within the sector, share best practice, and have a bit of a natter over coffee.  During these meetings, we decided to work towards an event to partially 'launch' the network, and to look at what shape it will take, and also to raise awareness of it.  And so all of that has led towards the above event, 'Direction of Travel'.

More information can be found on the WMPAF site, and booking is essential as places are limited, but it's a free event and there's lunch and a lot of awesome people attending.. so it'll be worth it.  And Frilly will be there - so what other reason do you need to attend?! :)

Kingsfest 2011 - 16/07/11 - excited now!

Superquick entry just to mention we've been working on an event happening next weekend in Kingstanding, Birmingham and we now have marketing material to show to help promote!

Everybody is welcome and the programme is just being finalised... and there's a LOT going on across the 5 sites - exhibitions, performances, donkey rides, competitions, amazing installations (including a knitted bull!), graffiti workshops, Zumba, and Hunt Emerson (Beano artist) is going to be exhibiting some work and chatting to visitors!  Amazing!

Swamp monsters and origami... launch night!

It was a bit worrying whether or not we'd be able to get everything put up safe and soundly because of the crazy weather - but team Frilly managed it nonetheless!  Despite a deluge of bad circumstances trying to knock us off course (bandstand at Bridgnorth being closed off because of someone stealing the lead from the roof, staff sickness, weatherproofing issues, etc!) we put up all your hard work from the past few weeks in Bridgnorth and Ercall and last night was the launch.

We'll say more about this all and scan in your comments - but in the meantime, here's a selection of images from last night.  It was fab to see all the young people again!  To see more on this project, have a look at the blog.
