The Stove Network is Scotland's only arts-led development trust. With an arts venue and cafe in the centre of Dumfries, Southwest Scotland's largest town, we offer a diverse programme stretching across music and literature, visual and public art, film and theatre, to town planning, architecture and design.We use arts and creativity to encourage, to gather, learn and view the arts not as something solely for an ‘arts audience' but rather as a vital contribution to society on all fronts.At the heart of everything we do is a love for our town and wider region. We work alongside our local authority, community organisations, local businesses and charities to create a vision for the future of Dumfries & Galloway. We're aiming to create a place where culture, community and enterprise work hand-in-hand to support a new vision of Dumfries & Galloway.We work hard to raise the profile of our creative community and our town through regular opportunities, workshops, events and projects.We're also a hub for the creative community of Dumfries. We're a space for you to use. So if you have an idea, need some space or even advice on starting a project or want to partner with us – we're here!
