DCA – Dundee Contemporary Arts
The DCA (Dundee Contemporary Arts) is a world-class centre for the development and exhibition of contemporary art and culture. It has a cinema which hosts a variety of world and foreign films as well as art house, political and block buster films. The centre also has a stylish bar and restaurant and is a great place to relax or socialise. The DCA also has the award winning Print Studio and hosts a number of art, craft, design and print classes for the whole family.
As well as the large gallery spaces which showcases work from internationally renowned artists, the DCA also has gallery, gift shop which stocks the work of local established, up and coming and international artists and designers. The shop just underwent a facelift and reopened on Thursday 13th February. I was lucky enough to attend the opening. The night was launched with Sooz Gordon, who is an Interior Designer. She spoke about design, styling your home and revamping products.
The shop has been revamped with modern display cabinets, new lighting and shelving systems which are adjustable. It’s a great way to easily change the layout of the products. Here are some pictures which I took on the opening night.
