Love Dumfries - Your guide to what's on in Dumfries, local businesses, and community in Dumfries

The Last Journey is a photographic exhibition by Gerry Robertson, evoking the last few weeks of Burns's life from the Brow Well to his final resting place. The opening is at 7pm on the 3rd of July at the Robert Burns Centre and the exhibiton will be taking place in what used to the Bonnie Bistro. The exhibition will run from tonight until the end of September during the usual opening hours. The exhibition is kindly supported by Ottersburn, contemporary fine art picture framers. The Museum will also be revealing some new scale models. Music, nibbles and speakers will round off the night.

**JUPITER+NATION DUMFRIES** Growing Pains is a site-specific installation by artist Lindsey Mendick set in an abandoned estate agent's office. Referencing her teenage years, Mendick has transformed the space into a haunting, immersive experience that explores the uncertainty, awkwardness, and societal expectations surrounding adolescence. Assembled on a spiralling desk that references the often cruel loop of teenagehood, Growing Pains features Alice-in-Wonderland-style ceramic dolls' houses that burst open, with teenage figures erupting from within. The work captures the surreal pressures that emerge at the threshold of adulthood, underlining the tension between a yearning for parental acceptance and the simultaneous urge to reject it. Jupiter+Nation is an ambitious off-site programme by Jupiter Artland that brings world class art to high streets across Scotland. Content warning: The supporting documentary film contains strong language, references to suicide, bullying and negative body image that some viewers might find difficult. Young people must be accompanied.

As part of this year’s Wild Goose Festival you can join us for three risograph workshops at the Print House exploring storytelling and environmental activism. Our environments are full of stories waiting to be heard. By discussing, imagining, and making together we can listen to what the living world is asking of us during the current mass extinction. Taking our places as stewards and advocates for all the wild things around us we will use the risograph printer to create posters and zines which can share what we learn in the festival hub and beyond. **Event Information** Our workshops are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis.

One of Ireland’s most popular music acts, ***The Tumbling Paddies*** are now coming to Scotland! Song writing and original material is a major part of their success. Hit songs include *Pretty Girl*, *Night On The Town* and *The Way I Am*, which topped the Irish charts for 10 consecutive weeks. Having grown from strength to strength over the past few years, it is no surprise that their music is being played in venues all over the world. Formed in 2014 in their beloved County Fermanagh, they soon became the region’s favourite covers band. After welcoming Oisin on keyboards, the band started to write and record their own original music, gaining more and more followers. ***The Tumbling Paddies*** soon became one of Ireland’s most prolific touring acts, playing sell-out gigs all over the country, including TF Castlebar and the INEC in Killarney. The band are now enjoying global success with recent tours in Dubai, Germany, and Spain. With an exuberant, energy-filled, live show, ***The Tumbling Paddies***, will perform a mix of original songs and classic Irish hits, in what promises to be an incredibly uplifting night of live music.
