Gracefield Arts Centre is one of Dumfries & Galloway most familiar and well-loved art spaces and it is now well over half a century since the Gallery and its Permanent Collection came in to being. The Gallery 1 building was bought in 1951 and a committee of local people were responsible for raising the money needed to buy the building and do the alterations that changed the former house, 'Gracefield' into an Art Gallery, with Gallery 2, a former school building, added in 1988 to offer further exhibition space, meeting and activity rooms, a craft shop, café and printmaker's workshop.

Accessibility: There is ramp to the ground floor of Gallery 1. The first floor of gallery 1 can only be accessed by stairs in this historic property. All areas of Gallery 2 including the shop, studio rooms and café are fully wheelchair accessible and there are a disabled access toilets.
