Growing Leaders
Arts and culture are the sinews of society and cultural leaders ensure they remain at its heart. In a rural region like ours, cultural leaders often operate in isolation, lacking the opportunity to connect with their peers: emerging leaders have fewer chances to grow as leaders and may need to seek opportunities outwith the region. Growing Leaders seeks to address this through the following:
Leaders Unlimited 2022
DGU is delighted to announce that the search is on for our next Leaders Unlimited cohort. We are offering a tailored programme based around personal and creative development, leadership skills and mentoring. Facilitated by members of the DG Unlimited team and delivered by a range of artists, creative professionals and partners, the programme will be creative, engaging, supportive - and fun. By the end of ‘Leaders Unlimited 2022’ you will have been supported, positively challenged and engaged in new and shared thinking - and be part of a growing, vibrant network of creative leaders who connect, share their experiences, discover new approaches and champion the region’s diverse creative sector.

The Circuit
The Circuit is a quarterly forum and networking event bringing creative people together to contribute to Dumfries and Galloway's ongoing cultural conversation.
The format is simple: share a glass, break some bread, engage in a forum of discussion and network. Each forum will be hosted by DGU and have a guest speaker(s) for example, a recipient of an Innovate Create Cultivate award describing the impact of the award on their professional development. Participants will share, celebrate, learn and connect with fellow practitioners.
The Circuit will encourage awareness and potential collaborations across and between artforms. They will be relaxed, fun and informative.
