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!

On Sunday we had a full day with workshops, talks, and a screening of shorts and audio-visual works by LGBTQ+ artists of Wales.

‘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.

An LGBTQ+ panel of creatives, organisers and activists.
13th of September 

An online conversation with LGBTQ+ artists and entrepreneurs of Wales whose research, passion and direct action plays on representation and reclaiming spaces.
