The Stove - an Update

from The Stove 

The Stove committee have been pushing forward on all fronts over the past year and we would like to invite you to a social/catch-up meeting on Wednesday 5th of September at 7pm at The Stove building. 

At this meeting we will report back on progress with the building and projects and be discussing the future structure of the Stove as an arts organisation. The Stove began as an open invitation and opportunity for D+G practitioners we’d like to discuss ideas we have for sustaining this ethos into the future and are eager to involve as many of you as possible in these discussions.

Some of you may also be aware that we have been commissioning artworks to accompany a 2 week long programme of public arts activity in and around Dumfries at the start of November. Artist Mike Inglis was awarded one of The Stove's Inbetween commissions – Mike is one of Scotland’s leading street-artists (Spaceboy - http://spaceboy1966.blogspot.co.uk/ ) - he will present a short illustrated talk on 5th Sept about his practice and what he has planned for the November events.
