A Cultural Strategy for Dumfries and Galloway

Dumfries and Galloway Council and its partners, including DG Unlimited, are creating a Cultural Strategy for our region to help make it an even better place to live and visit. The strategy will act as a catalyst for a forward-looking commitment and process to enhance the contribution of creativity, culture and heritage to the health, wealth and wellbeing of Dumfries and Galloway. 

The Council’s Communities Committee recently ratified the draft Cultural Strategy for Dumfries and Galloway which you can see HERE within the Communities Committee papers (it’s Item 11). 

It is anticipated that the strategy will be published in Autumn 2022.
