Guitar workshop with Tim Edey in July 2018

We've had a fantastic response to the Newton Stewart Arts Centre Community Survey, with over 350 responses so far, but we want it to be as representative as possible - you'll help shape new music, dance, language and arts services in the region - so if you're aged 18-24 we'd love to hear from you.

The project aims to open a new arts centre facility in the heart of Newton Stewart delivering year-round tuition and live performances to encourage, develop, support and promote music, dance, language and arts learning, composition and performances in Wigtownshire.

There are 9 questions and it takes less than 2 minutes to complete plus if you provide your e-mail address or contact phone number at the end of the survey you'll be in with a chance of winning tickets for the opening night concert at the 6th annual Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival in July 2019!
