Oor Wullie Bucket Trail

Oor Wullie’s Bucket Trail is a major public arts event that will see the streets of Dundee and beyond come to life with a spectacle of colour of 50 giant Oor Wullie sculptures in summer 2016. The project, a collaboration between The ARCHIE Foundation, DC Thomson and Wild in Art will capture the hearts and minds of the public and encourage us all to become ‘tourists in our own City’ and attract visitors from all over. The Oor Wullie sculptures will be beautifully decorated by local and national artists as well as household names from the worlds of film, music, art, animation and fashion. From small local companies to national corporations, a whole host of businesses and individuals will have the unique opportunity to sponsor a sculpture that will then be on show for 10 weeks before taking the sculptures to auction to help raise funds for The ARCHIE Foundation’s Tayside Appeal to create a twin theatre suite for the children’s hospital.  Read more about the trail at Oor Wullie Bucket Trail

Food is Free

Food is Free Carnoustie is a community building and gardening movement that has evolved from the Food is Free project which originally started in Austin, Texas but has now become a community movement around the world.  Food is Free Carnoustie hopes to bring people together with the purpose of taking neglected spaces and gardens and turning them into community gardens which then provides free harvests to anyone.  Once the fruit and veg is ready, it will be harvested and displayed in various public places around the town and offered free to anyone who wants it….yes that’s right FREE.
