EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS
We are very excited to announce the next online workshop from our project ‘Queering Wales, Connecting people’ taking place on the 27th of November . 🤩 📢 📢 🌈
“The way we see things” led by Caitlin Flood-Molyneux
In partnership with Glynn Vivian Gallery
Wednesday, November 27th
18:00-19:30
90-120 mins
Age: 18+
The way we see things informs the decisions we make, the steps we take and ultimately our art practice and professional future.
How does one get exhibited, create a sustainable practice and make a living as an artist? In times when getting exposure and marketing through social media seems to be at the centre, it is difficult to see a clear path or steps to take next.
In this talk Caitlin Flood-Molyneux will be talking about their journey as an artist and creative entrepreneur, and walking us through the steps they took from finishing university to exhibiting in Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
Book your free ticket! 🎟 🎟 🎟

"Y ffordd rydyn ni'n gweld pethau" dan arweiniad Caitlin Flood-Molyneux
Mewn partneriaeth ag Oriel Glynn Vivian
Dydd Mercher, Tachwedd 27ain
18:00-19:30
90-120 munud
Oedran: 18+ oed
Mae'r ffordd rydym yn gweld pethau’n dylanwadu ar y penderfyniadau rydym yn eu gwneud, y camau rydym yn eu cymryd ac yn y pen draw, ein harfer celf a'n dyfodol proffesiynol.
Sut mae un yn arddangos ei waith, yn creu arfer cynaliadwy ac yn gwneud bywoliaeth fel artist? Yn ystod oes lle mae pawb yn troi at gyfryngau cymdeithasol i gael sylw ac i farchnata, mae'n anodd gwybod pa lwybr i'w ddilyn nesaf.
Testun y sgwrs hon fydd taith Caitlin Flood-Molyneux fel artist ac entrepreneur creadigol, a thrafodir y camau a gymerwyd ar y daith, o orffen y brifysgol i arddangos yn Sotheby's a Christie's.

Join us on 10th Dec. Link in bio. @norenashopland is a distinguished Welsh historian and writer specialising in LGBTQ+ history and heritage. With a Master's degree in heritage studies, she has worked with prestigious institutions like the British Museum and National Museums Wales. Norena is renowned for her extensive research on the heritage of LGBTQ+ individuals in Wales, and her efforts culminated in the groundbreaking exhibition "Welsh Pride," the first of its kind to focus exclusively on Welsh LGBTQ+ history. She continues to inspire and educate through her talks, workshops, and publications, making significant contributions to the preservation and celebration of diverse histories. In our event in December, Norena will guide us through Monmouthshire’s LGBTQ+ history, and we will creatively interpret stories from the past in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, lyrics, and artwork. Come along and let your creativity flow!

Pride is more than a Parade!
We are excited to announce our new project, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund!
Following Pride Carmarthen 2023 we decided to launch our project Pride Is More Than A Parade. This was the result of consultations with the community and a need for more events and workshops to happen in the area.
This project will consist of four different events, each running for two sessions. These are: swimming, Welsh language, family friendly and QPOC meetup. One session per week for two months with the hopes of each continuing on after this project ends!
After these sessions there will be four sessions to share the skills needed to set up your own sessions. These will consist of an IT session, outreach and marketing, funding and a Q&A session!
Balchder Mae Balchder yn fwy na Gorymdaith!
Mae’n bleser gennym gyhoeddi ein prosiect newydd, wedi’i ariannu gan Gronfa Gymunedol y Loteri Genedlaethol!
Yn dilyn Balchder Caerfyrddin 2023 fe benderfynon ni lansio ein prosiect Mae Balchder Yn Fwy Na Gorymdaith. Roedd hyn o ganlyniad i ymgynghoriadau â’r gymuned a’r angen am fwy o ddigwyddiadau a gweithdai i ddigwydd yn yr ardal.
Bydd y prosiect hwn yn cynnwys pedwar digwyddiad gwahanol, pob un yn rhedeg am ddwy sesiwn. Dyma’r rhain: nofio, iaith Gymraeg, cyfeillgar i teuluoedd a chyfarfod QPOC. Un sesiwn yr wythnos am ddau fis gyda’r gobaith o bob un yn parhau ar ôl i’r prosiect hwn ddod i ben!
Ar ôl y sesiynau hyn bydd pedair sesiwn i rannu’r sgiliau sydd eu hangen i sefydlu eich sesiynau eich hun. Bydd y rhain yn cynnwys sesiwn TG, allgymorth a marchnata, cyllid a sesiwn holi ac ateb!

‘Queer Reflections’
at the Glynn Vivian Gallery Sunday 22 May 2022 - Sunday 6 November 2022
Led by artist Fox Irving, and supported by the team at Glynn Vivian, On Your Face are celebrating queerness in all its forms; using a restricted collection that is, on the whole, largely heteronormative and blind to the lives of LGBTQ+ people and others. Through the group’s interactions with each other and the artworks in the Glynn Vivian’s collection, the artists have playfully explored and synthesised new narratives of what it means to be gay/lesbian, queer, and/or neurodivergent in Wales today.
Each member of the collective selected artworks from Glynn Vivian that they had a natural affinity with when exploring their own queer identity. Their reflections on these selected artworks challenge the current narrative behind that art, and open up a world of contemporary queer Welsh narratives.
Taking space and changing the industry.
