ABOUT DUNBAR

Dunbar is a small fishing town on the east coast of Scotland. It can boast many local initiatives that seek to connect us to our environment and lead us to a more sustainable lifestyle. We work hand in hand with other organisations such as Sustaining Dunbar and take the arts to people within their environments so that the artists we are lucky enough work with might impact and connect to the communities who share this space.

Our annual exhibition takes place at Dunbar Town House Museum and Gallery and we have erected a Pavilion overlooking our Rainbow Garden which is part of the Ridge Community Garden at the Backlands.

We are lucky to be the home of the great environmentalist John Muir, many of his writings being the inspiration behind of our care for the environment, and relevant remain relevant to our contemporary aims – the arts as catalyst for change.
