The Cabin
ArtLab
The Cabin started as part of "What We Do Now," part of Scotland's national Culture Collective, bringing creativity to Dumfries and Galloway Coordinated by The Stove Network, we collaborate with talented artists Alice, Rosie, and Andy to enhance community living based on local ideas gathered in 2019.
It’s been a rewarding journey collaborating with talented artists and learning new skills along the way. With the support of The Stove, we are excited to bring our legacy project to life, and the response has been incredible.
Our artists have done a fantastic job of connecting with local residents, fostering trust and engagement within the community.
Alice is now our Lead Artist that has worked tirelessly to bring the Cabin to life.
We have had community days and events at the cabin as well as Workshops with other resident Artists.
We also now have a resident gardener called Naomi.
You can find more about Naomi on our NANA page.
We are forever grateful to James Jones and Sons for their fantastic support and JJ Curries.
The Start.... The Middle ....And we are still going.
Welcome to our ideas for the "The Hut"/Kabin
This was our first pop up event with residents. We provided Food and crafts for them, It was a 4 hour session in the new pop up tent.
Our artists have been working with NWCC (NorthWest Community Campus) and the Creative industries class took part in the project by doing self portraits left handed and stain glass making.
It was then added to the Gracefield arts exhibition.
Here is some of their work.
