| Posted: 13 Mar 2012 06:57 AM PDT  Structo magazine is heading back to the MK Gallery on the evening of Thursday, March 15th to host our third free spoken word Scratch Night. The first night we hosted at the gallery was about a year ago, and mainly featured writers from London, while the second — co-hosted with the Monkey Kettle crew — was all about the local scene. This time we’re going for a bit of both. Readers include erstwhile Structo authors/Londoners Conan McMurtrie and Daisy Hildyard, and in the Milton Keynes corner are John Thynne and the city’s Poet Laureate Mark Neil. We will be making one more reader announcement in the next few days once all is confirmed. The bar at the gallery will be open from 6:30pm, and we’re aiming to kick off at around 7pm. The event is free to attend, and you can find more details at either the facebook event page or the gallery’s website. |
| CHAIR OF THE BOARD for FringeMK:Westbury Posted: 15 Mar 2012 08:50 AM PDT 
CHAIR OF THE BOARD FringeMK:Westbury Background to FringeMK:Westbury FringeMK:Westbury is looking to for a new chair to lead the current members, working alongside existing Vice-chairs and Board. Based in Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, FringeMK:Westbury is an artist-led, not for profit, artist studio complex for c.15 artists and exhibition space. We support the professional development of cross-platform artists through studio provision, exhibition spaces on-site and in the central Milton Keynes shopping centres and delivery of a biennial fringe festival to accompany IF [Milton Keynes’ International Festival] We are part-funded by Milton Keynes Council, have been a recipient of Arts Council England bids and supplement our income through venue hire and delivery of arts initiatives. 2012 is a challenging but exciting year as we have a large Fringe Festival planned for July as part of the Milton Keynes festival programme: MK Summer of Culture. Role of the Chair We have recently seen significant internal change as Westbury Studios and FRINGEMK have merged, so we are now looking for a new Chair who can plan and deliver a new strategic vision and represent the group externally, while ensuring the ongoing development of our internal systems, support services, and organisational structure. This may appeal to an individual with a developed understanding and passion for the arts [and who may be an artist themselves] who has senior management experience at board level. The successful candidate could have experience in the private, public, or voluntary sectors. The role is voluntary and unpaid. There will be monthly board meetings and the Chair will be supported by the Vice Chair(s), working groups [finance, house, artistic, marketing] and Artistic Director [for the duration of the Fringe Festival]. If you are interested in becoming the chair and want to know more please email anita@fringemkatwestbury.com for an information pack.
