Reviews of Gracefield Arts Centre (28 Edinburgh Road, Dumfries)

1. seb. thin, thornhill – 30 June 2011, 12:21pm3 starsGracefield Arts CentreReport

There are so many artists galleries in and around Dumfries , i can't believe this is the only one on the list. .This govt. run gallery always has exhibits of a high standard. The present touring exhibition is visually stunning.
