Arts Events in the Week of 5-10 November

The artist collective The Stove has put together a week-long programme that celebrates Dumfries and offers people the chance to be part of the future of their town. Six specially commissioned art projects will be presented in public spaces, accompanied by public performances and talks from leading thinkers, as well as film screenings and concerts.

Highlights include:

‘Why Andy Warhol is Shite’ – A performance lecture by international artist Bill Drummond.

Street Shrines – New work around Dumfries by one of Scotland’s leading street/public artists, Mike Inglis.

Greyfriars 1 – The world premiere of Suzanne Parry-John’s song cycle about the Nith and the launch of artist Lisa Gallacher’s bespoke clothing collection.

Nithscoping – Environmental artist Hannah Brackston invites an investigation of Dumfries’ river.

Also, look out for Marion Preez’s blue ‘Frames’ around the town, and whatever you do – don’t miss ‘The Lost Supper’, a simultaneous voyage back in time and into the future, with great food!

What’s even better is that it’s all free!
