West Ward Works, the former home of DC Thomson’s world-famous annuals, hosted the first Dundee Design Festival in May. DC Thomson chief operating officer David Thomson said: “We’re delighted to be able to work with the City of Design team. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the heritage of the building whilst also looking forward to the exciting redevelopment of the city.
Our company is fully supportive of Dundee’s cultural development, including the V&A Dundee project, and we’re keen to contribute to the development of further arts facilities for the city. We’ve been exploring ideas for the revitalisation of West Ward as a cultural space and this seemed like an ideal opportunity to try it out!”
