Cymru Fenis 10 Sharing Event
💫We are very pleased to share images from a recent sharing event of Works In Progress from artists taking part in the Cymru Fenis 10 project supported by DAC. The artists taking part are Emma Frayne-Ford, Tessa Gray, Gareth Churchill, Giles W Bennett, Ffion Campbell-Davies a Marcy Saude.
Wales Venice 10 aims to focus on individuals that face barriers to progressing their international ambitions and have a diversity of lived experience, across a range of different points in their careers. The programme aims to take bold steps forward to strengthen connections with local and global audiences, deliver on the Arts Council’s commitment to widening engagement, and respond to the climate emergency. In October 2022, 6 disabled artists were commissioned by Disability Arts Cymru and the Arts Council of Wales to produce new visual art works that take the artists one step closer to achieving their international goals. More to come, watch this space. In the meantime enjoy these photos and follow the artists involved!
