rumblings of change

Just a teeny tiny heads up - our site is currently on tenterhooks awaiting a few changes and overhauls to be made (it's starting to look a bit dusty after all.. :) and along with that, a few changes to the structure of Frilly itself... which will be revealed in time!  As we're still just a two-girl front, these things take time and have to be juggled amongst other jobs, but we're getting there.

Exciting news to be told includes:

• public art developments
• our first arts & health resource nearing completion
• organisational developments
• ambitions ambitions ambitions
• a forked prong approach to the future!

..and so that this isn't just text, I'll finish this brief update with a random photo of a donkey called Pascoe who we were lucky enough to meet in Sutton Park at the Elizabeth Svendsen Trust - he was born in *1979* and is amazing!  I love organisations that do amazing things, like these guys do. :)

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?! :)
