Crichton Conversations 2013/14 Lecture Programme

  Innovation and Design in Scotland: A celebration.
Given the strength of the reputation of this region as a flourishing centre of excellence in arts and crafts, the Crichton Conversation on Tuesday 29th October 2013  should be of huge interest and relevance locally. Guest speaker, Professor Philip Long, Director of the V&A Dundee project will examine the impact and importance of innovation and design and its impact on the Scottish economy. He will also bring us up to date on the exciting V&A project based in Dundee.

The lecture is sponsored by the Solway Centre, University of Glasgow, Dumfries.

Commenting, Dame Barbara Kelly, Foundation Convenor said “The Foundation is delighted that the Solway Centre is our partner for this discussion.  It is always stimulating to have someone as expert as Philip Long to speak on a subject which is important to the local community. We hope to have a good turnout to hear the talk and participate in the questions and debate which will follow.  Why not join us for the evening?”
