Bocs News

18 November 2011

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.
