The Arts Centre Co-ordinator Job for bocs is still up for grabs, so if you missed the deadline last time, you’re still in with a chance!

Look at the details and apply here.

We’ve already found a nice Community Arts Co-ordinator, so that job is now unavailable.

Nearly there!

We’re still waiting for a response from another funder, but we should be able to get in there and start painting the ground floor in April.

Happy new year, everyone!

We have some good news… We have two interesting new freelance jobs to help get the new place up and running.

One deals with the day to day activities of our arts centre and gallery - The Arts Centre Co-ordinator.

The other, will help us to carry out our community / public art events - The Community Arts Co-ordinator.

This is an exciting opportunity to get stuck in at the start of something sensational.

Bocs is a co-operative project which grew out of Oriel Dafydd Hardy and is now in the process of securing alternative premises which would serve as a gallery, drop-in information and studios complex in Caernarfon town centre. The aim is to establish a hub for the growth of excellence in the arts. At present we are looking at providing the following facilities:

· An arts retail area where artists can sell their work, and people can buy arts supplies;
· Providing workspace, studio and gallery space for those involved in the arts;
· Meeting rooms for local community groups, businesses and organisations;
· One stop shop where information can be provided on the arts sector;
· Arranging events and performances;
· Sessions aimed at the education sector.

This arts space would be unique as it would be run by young graduates, whilst at the same time focusing on inspiring people, especially those from deprived areas, to become part of this community and see art as a viable career.

Further information about Bocs contact us direct at oriel@dafyddhardy.co.uk or 07774 730 325.

Bocs is proud to annouce that work by two of our members, Gethin Wavell and Morgan Griffith, along with work by Bocs Board member, Gareth Griffith, have been selected for the National Eisteddfod of Wales Open Exhibition at Wrexham!

Incidently, Gareth is Morgan’s father, and this is the first time in the Eisteddfod’s long history that a father and son have ever been chosen to exhibit at the same time.

Also New Bocs member, Rebecca F. Hardy, opened her first solo , exhibition, “Serch”, at the Arthaus61 in Bangor last night. An exhibition of expressive, primitive, surreal and at times auto-biographical artworks. www.rfhardy.blogspot.com

So all in all Bocs has quite a lot to celebrate this weekend! Congratulations to everyone, well done!
