Artists Gathering 2011- Dumfries and Galloway

This promises to be a significant occasion for the arts scene in D+G on several fronts. There are big changes afoot in the way our sector is supported by local government, this will be a chance for us to consider afresh the kind of 'cultural sector' that we want to a part of and then organise ourselves to work towards our own vision. We all believe in the power of art as a positive force for good in society, hence the decision to frame this event first and foremost as a chance to discuss art - we have confidence that this will create the right context for productive discussions about wider objectives (ie rather than call a ' public meeting'). See you there....
