Artists Required




Are you an artist who could benefit from art facilities, networking and exhibition space in Stranraer and the Rhins?


Hi, There are so many little seeds beginning to sprout around Stranraer at the moment. Exciting times.

One of those shoots for the artists is the Creative Hub at the top of King Street, the Street Art project (here is a link to the job ad for the artist if you haven't seen it yet. Street Artist for Stranraer Perhaps it is you, perhaps you know someone who would be interested?)

The other key project is the art centre for the renovation of the George Hotel. This is becoming very real. 

At these meetings, on the 20th of September, you will meet with the architect and discuss your needs so they can be built into the project and all the necessary equipment sourced and the space in the building allocated. 

I hope you can make it. 

Please click one of the links below to book your place and be a part of these changes and make sure you get what you need. 

AFTERNOON 2-4 pm, 20th September, the Ryan Centre 

EVENING 5.30-7.30 pm, 20th September, the Ryan Centre

I look forward to seeing you there.

Art and Engagement Officer for Stranraer

Creating Stranraer - Listening and Visioning Meeting 21st July 2022

Warning!  NOT a 5-minute read.  You will need a cuppa and a biscuit to read this. If you Love Stranraer, you will read to the end.  Stranraer needs YOU!          Making a town meeting fun Special thanks to all at the Millennium Centre , for helping me create the right space for this important conversation. And to Mr. Gillespie from Gillespie Bakers for providing the delicious cakes to keep the ideas going. The Free Press donated free newspapers and it was a delight to see everyone reading them and catching up on local news while the room filled. The meeting began with getting our heads around the importance of being motivated as we embark on this BIG journey of change.  'Without Vision, man will perish.' Recently, I quoted this on one of my videos . When my daughter saw the video, she said that I should say person, not man. Not wanting to offend anyone, I gave that a lot of thought. Firstly, it is a Biblical quote and who am I to change that? Also, after giving even more thou

  STRANRAER STILL NEEDS YOU! 15-second video to get the atmosphere This is a long one, so grab a cuppa. The room was buzzing. So much to take in. The people just kept coming through the door. At the end of the night, there was just one cake left.  So what have we been doing at Creating Stranraer since the last meeting? 1. In the beginning, the people requested more colour and vibrancy. It took time to find the right person to add that colour. We have made significant progress and commissioned the artist, Mr Tragic O'Hara (above in the pink hat, but you probably guessed that!) to become the first professional street artist for the town .  Tragic has already added colour and inspiration to the Skate Park at Stair Park when we stopped by on our way to speak with the teenagers at the Academy to find out what they wanted from Stranraer. This skate park will be replaced in the near future and Tragic will work with local children to add creativity and inspiration. 2. To compliment Tr

Street Artist for Stranraer - September 2022

  Street Art Commission for Stranraer  Closing date - midnight, 18th September 2022. The Creating Stranraer project (Stranraer Development Trust) would like to commission a contemporary street artist to paint the first major wall painting in the town as a precursor to a planned Street Art Festival in the town (summer 2023). The commission is for a prominent town centre location and is on the same building that will be home to a creative hub for the arts in the town. Stranraer is at a very interesting point in its history – it is somewhere that has re-invented itself several times in the past as industries (eg herring fishing) have changed. 10 years ago the ferry service to Northern Ireland moved from Stranraer and a question mark has hung over the place since – what would the next version of the town be? Stranraer is the regional centre for one of the most beautiful and remote areas of Scotland, a place with a rich history through its connections to Ireland, NW England and Wales. This
