National Contemporary Art Gallery for Wales
We have been selected to be part of the network of galleries that will form the National Contemporary Art Gallery for Wales. A major capital investment will enable us to share Wales’ national collection of contemporary art with our audiences and the people of the Mid Wales, to develop new partnerships, and commission new work by emerging artists.
School visits and resources
We have a range of activities for schools including gallery education sessions for all key stages, as well as Art Days for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils.
We want to make your class visit as enjoyable as possible, so we provide teacher’s packs with guidelines on how to get the most out of your visit. We also have workshop spaces you can use (just remember to bring your own materials).
To talk to us about visiting with your school, contact Laura Oliver on 01970 62 28 88 / lao8@aber.ac.uk.

Artists’ residencies
Our Artist Residencies give visual artists from Wales, the UK and beyond, the opportunity to develop their work, gain new skills, and network with other creative people.
If you’re an artist looking for time, space and opportunities to collaborate in a new environment, in our award-winning Creative Studios designed by Heatherwick Studio, look out for open calls on our Opportunities page or contact our Exhibitions Curator Ffion.
