Sculptors in Wales

 

Sculpture Cymru : Sculptors in Wales is a group of sculptors living and working in Wales. The organisation was formed in the year 2000 to create opportunities for sculptors to come together to make work, exhibit, and exchange ideas. Its members continue to develop their own practices whilst combining to develop and promote the practice of sculpture in Wales. 

 

Existing membersinvited guest artists and sculptors from across Wales to exhibit their work. The hundred plus works in this exhibition show a wide variety of materials, practices and visions of the artists involved. The exhibition raises the groups profile, by making connections with other sculptors, and reaching wider audiences. 

 

The membership, of approximately twenty members, also provides workshops, delivering a variety of events. In addition, the artists also show their work independently.
