I'd quite like to be Artistic Director of fab Glasgow venue The Arches, so I am rather jealous of Jackie Wylie, the venue's arts programmer who has just been promoted to the AD position at the arts and music centre.
We know this because the venue's Chair, Lesley Thomson, just told us this: "We are delighted that Jackie will become Artistic Director as we feel she has the ambition and vision to take the venue forward to even greater success locally, nationally and internationally. We feel there are many opportunities for us to continue our work to encourage ground-breaking creativity, with a year-round programme of live music, club nights, theatre, corporate events and visual art that engages and inspires audiences of all ages".
Wylie told CMU: "My first experience of The Arches was as a young performer in the immensely inspiring atmospherics of the studio theatre with my own emergent theatre company. I am therefore tremendously proud to be in the position of continuing The Arches' ethos of supporting brave new talent and am thrilled to be working with the team to find new ways of rewarding innovation and encouraging courageous creativity".
