CAERLEON ARTS &
SOUTH WALES ART SOCIETY (below)

Caerleon Arts/Celf Caerleon aims to establish the town as a centre of excellence for the visual arts, to support Cardiff's bid to become European Capital of Culture 2008, and to work towards setting up permanent exhibition spaces in Caerleon.

We hope to organise an inaugural festival of the visual arts in 2003 and subsequent regular events in the town. These may include a sculpture symposium, screenings and exhibitions. An initial series of fund-raising events is planned. The group includes a number of practising artists and is working with University of Wales College Newport and other sections of the community.

If anyone is interested in taking part in our activities, please contact

SOUTH WALES ART SOCIETY

Dear Art Cymru,
We've just discovered your brilliant website, and would very much like to add ourselves to the GROUPS section. We've written a paragraph for you as follows:-

The South Wales Art Society was established in 1887 and is the largest art society in Wales.

It's membership ranges from the novice, to the very accomplished amateur and professional painter. We also have members who are not artists but appreciate art and enjoy joining us.

Meetings are held fortnightly on Tuesday evenings 7-9pm at the Heath community Centre in Cardiff.

Members are entertained to a variety of painting demonstrations by well known artists plus valuable critiques by knowledgeable guests, of members paintings and 3 dimensional work. We hold workshops throughout the year and also organise coach trips to shows and exhibitions in other parts of the country.

The culmination of the year is an annual exhibition at the Turner House Gallery in Penarth which is always well received by the viewing public.

Membership is £22 for the year, £10 for students.

For more information please contact the secretary on

Thanks so much for including us.
