Welcome to our 12th Kirkcudbright

We very much hope that your visit to Kirkcudbright and our twelfth trail will be an enjoyable one, and that if you are a resident you find something different to see and do as we have some new venues and new artists this year.

Last year’s Beach Hut theme proved so popular that we almost ran out of places to display them! We had to put our thinking caps on to come up with a new idea. We do hope that you enjoy all the fish swimming round the town during your enjoyable visit to the trail.

Our friendly trail has something for everyone, there are wonderful gardens to see, art to enjoy, things to do and lovely places to have your refreshments – and a bus to help with those tired feet. You really won’t regret visiting us, just remember to bring your camera!

Our free trail bus will help you get round our popular trail more easily and is a great way to visit outlying venues. Its route starts from the Harbour Square and information and timetable can be accessed at Venue One, The Stage. So leave the crowds behind, save yourself time and energy by hopping on the bus. Not only will it get you to your destination faster but you will be able to see more of our lovely town.

Look out for the marked bus stops.

Once again the trail organisers have been busy, we helped at the last country fair, and are looking forward to promoting the trail at the next one. Our very successful taster exhibition is to be repeated again in June at The Harbour Cottage Gallery. During the summer we did a twinning with the Black Pearl, a large driftwood, pirate themed ship in New Brighton.

We travelled down for a weekend promoting not just our trail but Kirkcudbright as well.

This Easter we were pleased to join with the St Cuthbert’s Trust in making the biggest Easter Egg Kirkcudbright has ever seen. Constructed over two weeks it became an eye catching installation in the Harbour Square and was a chance for people to “have a go”.

Music is an added dimension to what you might come across on the Trail and it is growing year by year. Performances can be found on the decking in Harbour Square at times shown on the stage but additionally you will find musicians and dancers in pubs, gardens and street corners to entertain you.

Also beware of the flash mob routine who will materialise from nowhere to delight and surprise you!

Performers include: Dianne Stafford harp and choir, The Lyric singers, The Razorbills, Terremoto Samba Band, Pianist Forbes Kinghorn, The Feral Choir, Kirkcudbright Choral Society, Pipers and more.

This year Venue 40 has a fantastic music marquee, hosted by Lost Wasp Records, a small, independent label operating out of Gatehouse of Fleet. With a stated aim of fostering local writing and performing talent, the label has so far released CDs

by Ted Percy, Alan McClure and The Razorbills, with further releases by The Cracked Man and The Mind Sweepers scheduled for 2015. These “Waspies�, plus Susi Woodmass and others as yet undreamed of, will be playing over the Art and Crafts Trail weekend, showcasing the breadth and depth of original, local music.

So popular were the hand crafted beach huts on our last trail that we felt we could not let the opportunity for everyone to have a piece of art on the trail slip away.

Our theme for this year is FISH. The committee are really looking forward to seeing all the different types that are swimming into town and we hope that all of you who have made one have had a great time and a lot of fun doing so. For anyone interested in joining in the fun but needing some help to get started FISH BLANKS are provided free from the Summer Festivities Charity Shop, but many that have come to

us have been made from scratch.

They are all different shapes, colours and sizes.

So on your journey round our Artists' Town look out for the Flying Fish, the Five Red Herrings, Catch of the Day, School Entries, the Recycled Beach Fish and the giant John Dory, plus many, many more.

We hope you get hooked on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme.

The Black Pearl New Brighton (well worth a look)

We can only describe our visit to The Black Pearl as a twinning experience extraordinaire!

The committee are always keen to try new things to promote the Art and Crafts Trail and in June 2014 after carefully loading up a van with all of our trail art work treasures, we set off on a pirate adventure.

The Black Pearl is a magnificent driftwood ship which sits on the south side of the River Mersey on the New Brighton sands at Cosy Cove. When we parked we were surrounded by the fearsome crew, who soon got to work setting up our treasures on the promenade and shore.

The sun shone for most of our visit and over the two days numerous people came to see us, a great

time was had by all. Not one but two community paintings were done and many colourful beach huts made. All of these were displayed on our trail later that year.

Instead of walking the plank we trod the Beatles Abbey Road Crossing, our skeletons guarded the ship and the great fish of Kirkcudbright swallowed a cruise liner in one gulp.

All good things come to an end but our happy ending was that we were given a driftwood pirate and other artefacts by the generous Black Pearl Crew.

We are very much looking forward to our second Rotary Art Competition following on from a very successful event last year.

This year the competition will once again involve entries from students from our five partner Primary Schools as well as entries from S1 and S2 students from Kirkcudbright Academy. Additionally this year we will have entries from S3 to S6 students meaning that we will now have trophies, prizes and certificates awarded in three different categories. All paintings, created under the tutelage of the art specialists in the schools, will be on display in The Lesser Town Hall during the Airdrie Boys exhibition. This is a project which brings together Kirkcudbright Rotary Club, Kirkcudbright 2000, the Art and Crafts Trail as well as Kirkcudbright Academy and its five partner Primary Schools. Please come along and view some outstanding work by local youngsters and please do take the opportunity to fill in your comments in the dedicated Visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Comments Book.

If you are visiting the art and crafts trail the Limes is well worth a visit.

On the road to Dundrennan, this location is within walking distance but is also served by the FREE TRAIL BUS. Here three venues are to be found. Firstly a wonderful garden to enjoy and stroll around, divided into specific areas, flower beds, greenhouse area, vegetable plots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is something for everyone. Caroline and David are very willing to discuss the plants growing in their gardens and are well used to visiting clubs from far and wide.

Secondly, the large garage will be a venue where you can see a variety of art and craft work

displayed, meet the artists and try your hand at something new.

Last but not least Mary Newton will also be at the Limes preparing her well known delicious food for you to enjoy.

Caroline, David and Mary are all keen supporters of, and fundraisers for, the Kirkcudbright Swimming Pool, and we feel sure that you will also see a few fish swimming about as part of our trail theme. Do visit the Limes, you will not be disappointed.

We are delighted to say that Oakley House will once again be playing host as Venue 40 this year and will again be housing the wonderful talents of The Galloway Creatives and Julie Middleton.

The Galloway Creatives are made up of 10 artists and their amazing work will be exhibited indoors at Oakley House, Venue 40, as well as some “Have A Go” sessions. All of the work on show will be available for sale.

This year, some of The Galloway Creatives will be holding workshops in one of the marquees in the garden. Why not book your place and come along and create a wonderful family tree with Caroline from Elegant Originals? Or perhaps the kids might like to come and make a light tube with Gina from Gina Lillicrop Designs? Or maybe you’d prefer to create a knitted masterpiece using the largest knitting needles you’ve ever laid eyes on?

If you visited Venue 40 last year you will know all about the amazing cakes on offer as Niomi of Dotty 18 ~ Art & Crafts Trail 2015

venue 40

Designs Cakes hosted the tea marquee. This year Niomi will be back with lots of wonderful cakes and refreshments, but this year Dotty Designs will also be offering lunches and a pop-up restaurant on the evenings of Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August.

Finally what better way to enjoy tasty treats than to sit and listen to some great music from local bands? This year there will be a fantastic music marquee, details of which are in the music section of this brochure and also from the information stage.
