DUNOON Burgh Hall Trust is set to benefit from Creative Scotland's latest round of funding.

The trust will be able to continue its programme of exhibitions, which will celebrate local talent and global perspectives over the next 18 months.

The programme will support local artists and makers through networks like CHARTS, Dunoon MOCA, and Cowal Open Studios.

It will also welcome international contributors such as Chinese artist Li Zhengde, who will be displaying her exhibition From the Xijiang to Yangtze River.

In partnership with Glasgow’s Street Level Photoworks, the hall will also host photography exhibitions including FONDS: Stories of People Through Objects They Love by Morwenna Kearsley and Isola by Dr John Perivolaris.

Christina McKenzie, chair of Dunoon Burgh Hall Trust, said: "Alongside these exhibitions, we offer artist talks, guided tours, and community workshops, ensuring an engaging and inspiring experience for all.

"This exciting programme brings a rich variety of creative expression to our community, fostering connection, conversation, and cultural exchange, while bringing a diverse range of artistic perspectives to Argyll."

The funding comes as part of Creative Scotland’s National Lottery and Scottish Government-backed Open Fund awards, which are distributing £904,963 to artists and organisations across Scotland.

Iain Munro, CEO at Creative Scotland, said: "The Open Fund awards are vital in supporting projects that reflect the diversity and vibrancy of Scotland’s arts landscape.

"These projects highlight the importance of giving artists the space and resources to create meaningful work, strengthening Scotland’s creative community and making the arts accessible to all."
