Kirkcudbright has had a long association with the Glasgow art movement. Several artists, including the [[Glasgow Boys]] and the famed [[Scottish Colourists]], such as [[Samuel Peploe]] and [[Francis Cadell (artist)|Francis Cadell]], based themselves in the area over a 30-year period from 1880 to 1910, establishing the [[Kirkcudbright Artists' Colony]]. Also among those who moved here from Glasgow were [[Edward Atkinson Hornel|Edward Hornel]], [[George Henry (painter)|George Henry]] and [[Jessie M. King]]. Later another small group of Glasgow-trained artists built their studios across the river at The Stell, including John Charles Lamont and [[Robert Sivell]]. Landscape painter Charles Oppenheimer moved to Kirkcudbright in 1908. He is given credit along with artist Dorothy Nesbitt for protecting the Harbour Cottage (art) Gallery from demolition in 1956.  Kirkcudbright became known as "the artists' town".<ref name=artist/> Other artists include:
