After eight years of support from local artists and planning on Wasps’ part, Cannonwalls and Claverhouse was opened in 2010.
This linked townhouse development provides 14 artist studio spaces, as well as a communal kitchen and toilet facilities in a contemporary facility in the heart of Kirkcudbright, Scotland’s Artist Town.
