Participation is at the heart of Art At.
For visitors it is an opportunity to explore their creative side and take away not necessarily an object but certainly an inspiration. The project was set up in response to discussion initially among artists who were excited by the proposal to show a high standard of work and to benefit by working together to maximize the success of the project. The immediate response of the owner of Rhos-y-gilwen to this entirely new event for West Wales was extremely encouraging. The need is there for a wider cross section of our community to integrate and enjoy the arts and environmental issues.
The first ART AT Rhosygilwen, in 2008, took place in brilliant sunshine which definitely enhanced the pleasure of all who came to participate in the creative workshops – skill building from using recycled materials making sunhats, collaborative paintings, found object sculptural construction, portrait painting, and many more diverse activities.
The four master-classes in Print-making, Life Drawing, Sculpture and Water-based painting lead by top professionals in their field, were well attended.
The main exhibition showing works of 42 artists from all over Wales, was shown in the main house and the Oak Hall and astounded people with its high standard and presentation of work.
People came to enjoy the whole event were also to be surprised and delighted by impromptu music and performance within the hall and around the grounds, and while wandering they would come across a family of life-sized figures standing in the shade of the trees; huge figures created from willow; large ceramic hollow “pebbles” for plants to grow in, displayed on the decking; quirky heads and busts that made everyone smile; beautiful hand made furniture made from recycled wood and slate and much, much more.
All in all, the week-end had an air of enchantment about it, and there were many voices saying, “lets make this into a yearly event!”
Artists will be exhibiting work, running demonstrations and workshops.
There will be some performance art and pieces created that are site
specific.
The contributors will be drawn mainly from Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, and
Carmarthenshire but it will also include some “names” known nationally and
internationally.
There will be a selected of 2D and 3D art in the main hall.
In the marquee there will be a range of art and craft stalls chosen for
their quality.
There will be short workshops and demonstrations where visitors can work with
artists.
Also day long master classes.

Elizabeth Adeline & Pip Woolf
A Drop of Water
27 Feb – April 10, 2010 at Theatr Mwldan
Pip and Elizabeth have a shared fascination with water. They have been working together and along side each other since 1991, developing their ideas along the theme of nature and living more sensitively in the environment. This joint exhibition shows the outcome of their explorations, asking such questions as ‘How do we show water, its force, movement, qualities, stories, value without using water?’
Pip’s fulfilling a dream to install a hydroelectric scheme in her home and work place in the Dyffryn, has resulted in her drawing with water itself. Elizabeth finds a simple strength in re-telling every day experiences, such as her childhood memories in Ireland of fetching drinking water in a pail, from a spring, in a wood.
The exhibition includes sculptural installations, film and works on paper from Elizabeth Adeline whilst Pip Woolf displays 2D works on paper and handmade artist’s books.
Theatr Mwldan warmly invite you to attend the opening reception on Friday 26th February at 6.30pm.

Emma Cameron – A Sense Of Being
Emma Cameron
A Sense Of Being
Emma Cameron’s paintings have been the subject of articles both by academics and celebrities such as Griff Rhys-Jones and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. Her paintings show human figures emerging out of abstract grounds that represent imaginative worlds of mystery and mythology in classical poses made from observation and defined by the suggestion of outline. Although she is originally from the Scottish Highlands, Cameron’s mother, the artist Tessa Spencer Pryse is Welsh, as was her grandfather, the late artist Gerald Spencer Pryse.
You are warmly invited to the opening of Emma Cameron’s exhibition at Oriel Mwldan on Friday 16th October at 5.30pm.
Admission to Oriel Mwldan is free. Opening times are 10am – 8pm DAILY.

Drawing With Scissors 
Late Works 1950 – 1954
The French painter, sculptor and designer, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the 20th century’s most influential artists. His vibrant works are celebrated for their extraordinary richness and luminosity of colour.
Matisse: Drawing with Scissors, a Hayward Touring exhibition from the Southbank Centre, features 35 lithographic prints of the famous cut-outs, produced in the last four years of his life, when the artist was confined to his bed. It includes many of his iconic images, such as The Snail and the Blue Nudes.
‘There is no gap between my earlier pictures and my cut-outs, I have only reached a form reduced to the essential through greater absoluteness and greater abstraction’ Matisse

The biggest exhibition of some of best art in West Wales returns to Rhosygilwen this summer from the 10 July (midday) to the evening of 12 July. The exhibition is not only a feast for art buyers but also great fun for those wishing to partake in many of the workshops, master classes and demonstrations.
The event is the brainchild of Pauline Latham and two other fellow artists Sarah Sharp and Liz Cox who have worked tirelessly over the last 6 months to make this event even better that last year’s. ‘Come rain, hail or brilliant sunshine, we’re going to have a ball,’ said Pauline confident that this year will surpass the expectations of anyone who comes to Art At ‘09.
Some of the region’s most sought after artists like David Tress and Mary Lloyd Jones will be exhibiting their work along with 70 others showing paintings, sculptures, photographs, ceramics and a range of other craft items.
This will take place in the Oak Hall, ideal for an exhibition of this calibre, and in marquees, gazebos and other locations around the splendid gardens of Rhosygilwen recently featured in the Gardens of Wales book published this year. This is the perfect day out for you and your friends and family to enjoy and could also be the perfect treasure trove for the art bargain hunter.
It is said that there is something about the environs of Pembrokeshire that seems to gather an unusually high concentration of artists of extraordinary calibre. ‘It’s such a pity that Visit Wales and their agents do not promote this more actively,’ says Pauline.
The entrance is £3, £2 for concessions. The master classes cost £25 (£20 concessions). For more details on the Master classes phone 01239 612560 or go to the exhibition web site www.artat.org.uk
