Conversing Building Open Evening: Emily Tough Portraits of Dumfries

This month as part of our Conversing Building project, we have invited artist and Stove member Emily Tough to spend some time in the town centre and create an artist’s book sharing portraits and celebrating moments of everyday life.

Join us for an opening evening on Wednesday, 11th of September to celebrate the exhibition.

Artist Emily has been recording the buildings, people, and businesses of Dumfries town centre though reportage style illustrations, building up a profile of life as it is now in the town centre through a set of drawings which has been reproduced as a large concertina book on display in the Stove Cafe. 

Say hi to Emily who will be out and about drawing, maybe even get your portrait done! She hopes people will enjoy seeing themselves in this publication and may wish to join on the 11^th of September from 5:30pm for an open exhibition evening.  

More about Emily’s work is available online via Instagram and Facebook.
