The successful applicant
will be expected to spend a significant amount of time in Dumfries. During this
research period the artist will conduct both archival and broadly engaged
research. The Stove can assist with meaningful connections to enable this process,
however the artist is expected to show initiative and have an outward facing
approach to their practice.
We are open about the direction the research may take, an example of a stepping off point might include:- Dumfries Common Good

The organisation is led by a Curatorial Team who in turn lead a diverse membership in excess of 100 people in projects that work creatively with local people in Dumfries and surrounding area to collectively build a new vision for the town.We do this through developing participative artwork projects in public spaces, delivering workshops and training opportunities, providing a hub for creative practice in our region and working in partnership with other local organisations.
