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.

A Dynamic Graphic Score Cinematic Performance

25th March 2010

The Scala Cinema and Theatre in Prestatyn will host a performance for poetry and music with dynamic graphic score produced by students of Glyndŵr University Wrexham.
The cinema will project a score made up of material based on the concept which develops during the workshops taking place at the University from 14th to 16th February 2011.

Looking At Faces is an exhibition of recent work by brothers Morgan and Ioan Griffith.

With both artists working on a similar theme with contrasting approaches, Morgan’s work is painting and collage based, whilst Ioan has produced a slide projected installation using a penry facial identification kit.

Humour is a strong element in both artists work.

“Since every human contact in every area in our existence begins with a meeting of faces, an understanding of them is, or should be, everybody’s business.” Jacques Penry

Oriel Dafydd Hardy is currently closed after November flood….reopening very soon…..watch this space!

Bocs has been invited to stage the “graffitti box” project, which was conjured up for the official opening of Castle Square in Caernarfon, at the opening of the National Eisteddfod in Y Bala on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August.

Most people visiting Caernarfon last week would have seen dozens of children enjoying painting and drawing alongside the artists on our huge 6ft white box. The theme in Y Bala will be “Gwynedd on the Box” and, after the artists have completed their artwork, visitors to the Gwynedd Pavilion will be invited to add their own touches to the box.

There will also be a video displaying of the current work on show now in Oriel Dafydd Hardy until August and other Bocs artwork and events.
