Art project aims to embrace town transformation

Written by: Christie Breen | Posted on: February 18, 2023 | Category: Art | dumfries public urban art

AN ARTIST is being commissioned to work with the community to embrace and express the excitement surrounding the future of Dumfries’ Midsteeple Quarter.

The community-owned organisation behind the regeneration has joined forces with Dumfries and Galloway-based art and craft organisation Upland to offer the commission.

The selected artist will host a series of engagement events to capture the determination and ambition behind the drive to breathe new life into the town centre through community ownership and action.
