Place as Practice: A Town Walk

Join Martin O’Neill, Artistic Director of The Stove Network, for a Doonhame Walk Aboot!

Together, we’ll ask: how can our environments—and the people we live alongside—inspire bold, imaginative futures for our towns? How can socially engaged arts challenge the cultural, economic, and emotional futures of the places we call home?

Open to creatives of all backgrounds, disciplines, and delightful eccentricities, this walk will weave together local heritage, collective memory, and magical realism to spark new perspectives—and possibilities.

This event is part of our Creative Spaces Showcase Micro Festival. If you are aged 16-30, interested in the Creative Sector and are based in Dumfries & Galloway, make sure you come along to our Creative Spaces Showcase in Dumfries on the 30th May 2025.
