About

The organisation's aims are: (a) The promotion and development of arts and heritage education. (b) The conservation and preservation of our artistic heritage both at home and abroad. (c) The advancement of the arts, culture and heritage. We achieve these aims by: 1. Organising an ongoing series of educational lectures on art, architecture, music and theatre by acknowledged experts in their field. 2. Organising educational visits to, for example, the Burrell Collection and the National Galleries of Scotland. 3. Allowing refugees, living locally, access to lectures free of charge. 4. Organising longer all day events related to selected lecture topics. 5. Finally we have a volunteer scheme providing conservation work at Drumlanrig Castle.
