Spring Fling starts soon, running from 23 to 25 May and we're excited for our biggest year to date! Visitors can explore 111 studios on six routes across Dumfries & Galloway.
Catch a glimpse into the working lives of artists and makers across the region as they throw open their studio doors. It's a chance to see how work is made, have conversations, and experience the depth and diversity of practice here.
Alongside Open Studios, this year’s programme expands further, with exhibitions, participatory projects and live work unfolding across multiple locations.
You can plan a full weekend or take it slowly. Follow a route, discover new places, and spend time with the people behind the work.
Start planning your visit through the link in our bio.

Artist Sarah McCusker was awarded our 2027 Spring Fling illustration commission and she needs her fellow artists’ help to create something special for our 25th anniversary year.
@s.mccusker is looking for materials that are a result of and reflection of your artistic practices that detail the behind-the-scenes work of your making. These can be anything from offcuts, by-products, wasted materials e.g. metal casting drops, or wood trimmings, to blades from power tools or scalpels, textile offcuts/trimmings, dried up paint palates, parts of materials you don’t use, or scrapings from Lino cuts - they can be as wacky and out the box as you can think of as long as it fits the brief.
Visit the Spring Fling website to find out more about what we're looking for and how to contribute.

We are delighted to announce that Sarah McCusker has been awarded the Spring Fling Illustration Commission to design the brochure for Spring Fling 2027, our 25th anniversary year. @s.mccusker is a multimedia artist, whose work covers collage, sculpture and printmaking. She curates and manipulates materials found, forgotten and discarded and reimagines these to tell deeper narratives about our inner humanity and connection with our wider world.
She is aiming to celebrate the creativity of D&G by creating artwork for the brochure that encapsulates the many varied artforms the region has to offer, focusing on all the offcuts, scrap, unused materials that go into making for Spring Fling artists.
To support her work, Sarah needs her fellow artists’ help to create this piece, by donating materials that are a result of and reflection of your artistic practices that detail the behind-the-scenes work of your making. If you would like to contribute, you can find out more about what Sarah is looking for and how to share materials on the Spring Fling website, link in bio.
