08 January 2009
Heritage exhibition
A touring exhibition showcasing community artworks inspired by one of Scotland’s National Collections is to come to Dundee later this month.
Treasured Places: Creative Connections will be on display at Dundee Central Library from January 19 to February 14. It will be open to the public Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am-9pm, Wednesday from 10am-9pm and Saturday from 9.30am-5pm.

The exhibition features a visual feast of animation, expressive art, poetry and photography specially created by community groups across the country during workshops organised by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland.

Led by local artists and RCAHMS specialists, audiences ranging from primary school children to war veterans have taken part.

Workshops will be held in Dundee on February 13, 14 and 15 at a venue yet to be decided and will be based on the theme of community regeneration.

An inter-generational group, including nine men from the Menolej Group, will work with film-maker Graham Drysdale and an architectural historian to produce a short film that explores the changing face of Dundee.

Participants will select the material for the film, which will be screened to the public at a later date.
