Your Invite to Our Foundation Gathering
The Stove needs your Help
The Stove is getting itself
properly organised for the future and needs your help to do this – we’re asking
folk who are interested in the arts in D+G to join us for an informal evening to let us know how we are doing so
far and what we could be doing better in the future. After we have all agreed a
way forward everyone will be offered membership of The Stove (free)
So what has this got to do with you?.......
We believe The Stove can make a genuine contribution
to the future of our region – for both the creative sector and the wider
population
Still wondering what it has to do with you?.......
The Stove is two things:
1. A Building……..you need to
come to this gathering if:
- You’d like to see a place in the centre of Dumfries
where you can meet other creative folk, get info about what is going on locally
and further afield.
- You’d like to be able to hire affordable space to hold
workshops/events
- You’d like to show/present/gig in a space dedicated to
multi-disciplinary contemporary arts
- You’d like to rent a small serviced space in the
centre of Dumfries
- You’re interested in being part of the artist team to
work on a series of commissions integrated into the building
- You want to know about progress with the building (we
aim to have completed the necessary building work by the end of 2013 btw)
2. An Organisation……you should
come along if you are interested in:
- Collaborating with other artists as part of teams to
take on large commissions
- Bringing forward new ideas for projects/initiatives
that need an ‘organisation’ to carry them forward (NB – one of The Stove rules
is ‘if you have an idea you need to be prepared to do it yourself’)
- If you are an organisation yourself and are looking to
collaborate and share resources/expertise
- Learning new skills by taking part in Stove projects
- Building a creative career in Dumfries and Galloway
- Encouraging early career folk to get started locally
- Growing the ‘arts scene’ in D+G
- If you are not part of the ‘creative sector’ but you
are interested in working with our sector in your work (we can be pretty handy
like)
We are holding an informal and relaxed gathering that
will be run by Andrew Lyon of the International Futures Forum – the aim is
find a creative solution that works for all of us to set up The Stove as the
best thing it can be. By attending you will be offered the chance to build
yourself into the Stove network from the beginning of this exciting new phase
of the venture.
You do not need any expertise of any kind to take part
– just enthusiasm and an open mind and heart.
