Tin Roof is a Dundee based not-for-profit arts collective housed in a big old warehouse in the Blackness Industrial District. In 2010 various art graduates and creative folk gathered round a curry and decided that something needed to happen in Dundee to provide for the emerging artistic community. The services most needed were affordable studio spaces and a vibrant community of like-minded creative people. They moved into their premises in early 2011 and became a Limited Company a couple of months later. Today they house over 20 artists, run an internship program and accommodate project space for filmmakers, photographers, boat makers, fashion designers, theatre-set builders and many others. @Tin_Roof_Dundee. Video from Pecha Kucha Night Dundee Vol 4.
