Diary — Exhibitions

Anglesey has a rich heritage of modern art. Many of its living artists are members of the Anglesey Arts Forum, which also coordinates the Anglesey Art Weeks each April.

The main art exibitions cover the whole range of the visual arts, from classical painting to avant-garde sculpture, and provide opportunities for display by local, national, and international artists. They typically change every six weeks, and are housed in the exhibition space and main hall.

A selection of art is for sale in the Ucheldre Kitchen and the shop.

Following the flame

As a taster of things to come, this small launch exhibition will introduce the project to Ynys Môn, include a range of workshops for school children, invite people of all ages and abilities to get involved, and contribute creatively to the major exhibition which will be launched at Ucheldre in July 2011.
