  1. Celebration of a decade of #FireStationCreative in #Dunfermline tonight.

    20+ artists' studios, a cafe/bar, 125 visual arts exhibitions, over 1000 musical performances over the decade.

    Too often, projects fall into excess focus on capital outlay for flashy redesigns and then fail to sustain. By contrast, the Fire Station, achieving a strong reconstruction through local initiative and effort, has thrived.
