The Stove Network is a creative hub on Dumfries High Street — a café, meeting place and events venue supporting arts, community and local development. We use creativity to bring people together and to energise the town centre. Our work spans music, literature, visual art, public art, film, theatre, design and place‑making.As Scotland’s only arts‑led development trust, we collaborate with the council, local organisations and businesses to shape a positive future for Dumfries High Street — where culture, community and enterprise support one another. We champion Dumfries’ creative community through opportunities, workshops, events and projects. Our space is here for people with ideas: to meet, make, start something new or work with us.
