The Dumfries and Galloway Cultural Partnership (DGCP) is a region wide collaboration working to bring together people, organisations, and ideas from across the arts, heritage, and creative sectors.
The DGCP is not a new organisation, but a partnership made up of four founding members: Dumfries and Galloway Council, DG Unlimited, Dumfries and Galloway Museums and Heritage Network and South of Scotland Enterprise.
We are a connector and amplifier
helping people, projects, and places work better together across the cultural landscape.
We want to see a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable cultural ecosystem that reflects the people of Dumfries and Galloway and contributes to wellbeing, identity and the local economy.
