Artwork wish list
Article in the Caernarfon and Denbighshire Herald on December 4, 2008 about bocs and the christmas bocs nadolig exhibition :
YOUNG artists received their perfect Christmas present this week.
For the latest exhibition at Oriel Dafydd Hardy, in Caernarfon, members of bocs, a co-operative of young local artists, drew up a wish list of art they would like to see on display.
The work ranges from artists they have studied alongside, lecturers who taught them, people whose work they have admired or even read about.
The collection opens on Saturday and will run until January 9.
The co-operative now want to forge ahead and create a base where they can work, exchange ideas, and exhibit, and have informally approached Gwynedd Council about taking over Oriel Pendeitsh.
Glenys Davies, who manages the gallery, said: “They have drawn up a business plan and have got to convince the council they can make it somewhere exciting.
“We need to keep home-grown talent here.”
