**DUMFRIES PRIDE FRINGE EVENT – Friday 25th of September @ The Stove Cafe.** **LGBTQ+ portraits of Dumfries. 👑💕** Come chat with illustrator Emily Tough, while she draws your portrait. Using pencil and gouache, these portraits will take 5 to 10 minutes to draw. Artwork’s are for participants to keep. £5 per portrait. There will be conversation prompts on the table. To make people feel more comfortable and a sweet way for us to get to know one another. People can add their own conversation prompts for others to look at. Some are aligned to help us explore our queer-dom, others will be less focused. **The colour of PRIDE – past and present D&G** The first/second of two drop-in workshops exploring Pride through natural colour making and using them to add to a collective art/written piece centred around the following questions: How important is it to have pride? What does pride means to you and what queer thing do you love about Dumfries and D&G? The natural inks, some of which will be made by participants are all eco friendly and sourced from local plants around D&G. **Naeve & Holly’s Craft Stall** We are both young emerging artists and best friends in the Dumfries & Galloway and recent graduates of both the college and university looking to make connections in the community and share the work we love to make (usually insects and natural wildlife!) We are always experimenting and growing our practice and would love to use this opportunity to meet new people and get an idea of what we can make for them! **Accessibility Information** **Access to the Building** Level Access is available at the rear of the building through the adjacent close located to the left-hand side of the Café (when facing the front of the building). **Hearing Loop** We have a hearing loop system installed in the café to support individuals using hearing aids or cochlear implants. **Personalised Assistance** If you have any specific access needs, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
