The Yellow Door Gallery is home to The Yellow Door Group, a lively collective of creative practitioners in the visual and fine arts and literature. Recently recognised as one of the top three galleries in Dumfries and Galloway by ThreeBestRated, the Yellow Door Gallery is a friendly, welcoming space. The gallery is part of The Yellow Door, an urban mixed-use sustainable development project aiming

to bring a run-down Victorian warehouse building back into creative use as residential and working studio spaces. The building has a rich history and the ongoing restoration seeks to celebrate and recognise this history whilst bringing more and more of the space back to life. Renovation and conversion works started in October 2013 and have progressed slowly, as limited funds have permitted. Plans to bring the building back into use initially involved the restoration of the shop premises, which opened as an experimental pop-up shop and gallery in December 2013 and January 2014, successfully showcasing local creative talent. A group of artists, designers, makers and writers from Dumfries and the surrounding area formed a collaborative group and launched a permanent shop and gallery in April 2014. With exhibitions of members' work as well as open exhibitions, and shows by invited artists, there is a varied programme of exhibitions throughout the year. The shop and gallery at The Yellow Door is now a well-established part of the cultural and artistic scene in Dumfries.
