Year of the Sea 2018 - Sculpture on the Coast Project

We are pleased to present our exciting project - a special waymarking sculpture trail along the Gower Coastal Path. This linked with our annual Beach Sculpture Festival and showcases contemporary Welsh arts in an adventurous, inspiring way. The project gives a distinctive cultural visual arts experience for all and encourages active lifestyles. Five site specific sculptures have been created especially for the trail between Mumbles and Rhossili by our team of artists using concepts inspired by the 2018 theme Year of The Sea. The project which began in Autumn 2017 has been funded via the Welsh Government's Tourism Product Innovation Fund which aims to encourage new innovative product ideas working in partnership which will have a greater impact and attract more visitors.

Sculpture on the Coast Project / Cerflunwaith ar y Prosiect Arfordir

Rydym yn falch o gyflwyno ein prosiect cyffrous - llwybr cerfluniau arbennig ar hyd Llwybr Arfordir Gwyr. Bydd hyn yn cyd-fynd â'n Gwyl Cerfluniau Traeth flynyddol ac yn arddangos celfyddydau cyfoes Cymru mewn ffordd llawn antur ac ysbrydoliaeth. Bydd y prosiect yn rhoi profiad celfyddydau gweledol diwylliannol unigryw i bawb ac yn annog ffyrdd actif o fwy. Caiff pum cerflun eu creu'n arbennig gan ein tîm o artistiaid ar gyfer mannau penodol ar y llwybr rhwng y Mwmbwls a Rhosili. Byddant yn defnyddio cysyniadau a ysbrydolwyd gan thema 2018, sef Blwyddyn y Môr. Mae'r prosiect wedi cael ei ariannu drwy Gronfa Arloesi Cynnyrch Twristiaeth Llywodraeth Cymru sy'n anelu at annog syniadau cynnyrch arloesol newydd trwy weithio mewn partneriaeth er mwyn cael mwy o effaith a denu mwy o ymwelwyr.

AONB 60th Birthday Celebration Flag Schools Project 2016

Prosiect Baneri Ysgolion i Ddathlu 60 mlynedd ers sefydlu AoHNE

The project involved 7 Gower Primary Schools - Bishopston, Newton, Crwys, Penclawdd, Knelston, Pennard and Llanrhidian working with our artists in an exciting interpretative opportunity to create banner flags for the 60th birthday of the Gower Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty title. Their colourful banner flags were based on seven beaches and the flora and fauna in the Gower AONB to celebrate the beauty and biodiversity of the area. It was an ideal opportunity to share the story of Gower with the children, highlight the AONB anniversary and the forthcoming celebration events. The beautiful banners will be displayed at Rhossili Visitors Centre (July 16th and 17th) and the Civic Centre to celebrate with the wider community the AONB 60th birthday, as well as at other planned events throughout the year. See below for banner images.
