We bring you the pART of Pontypridd Art Trail 2024 website to accompany our annual Art Trail taking place across the town centre of Pontypridd and Ynysangharad Park. With thanks to Pontypridd Town Council, Your Pontypridd Business Improvement District, Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, Website Sorted & Plaingraffic, we are delighted to be exhibiting a wealth of creative work this year, that you can visit in person or view online, by our latest graduates from the BA (Hons) Creative and Therapeutic Arts course at the University of South Wales, Treforest Campus. 

 

The students and course teaching team wanted to use this opportunity to honour and celebrate the wonderful relationships cultivated with venues, businesses and organisations across our town who have inspired the artwork that has been created. As the Community Artists, Participatory Artists and Socially Engaged Arts Practitioners of the future, the students have produced artwork that has engaged or has been informed by the community of Pontypridd, or invites participation from the public once displayed. The exhibition not only showcases their work as artists, but also demonstrates their passion for supporting our community’s wellbeing, their ability to form meaningful connections, in addition to theirs and the community’s resilience during challenging times. 

 

Students have been asked to consider accessibility and inclusivity at the heart of their practice, so this exhibition website content can range from photographs, to videos with captions, soundscapes, flip books, guided meditation, recipes and more! We believe it is the most current and relevant way for our students to showcase their skills, providing them with important tools and experience for future practice, with perhaps an even wider potential reach than a traditional exhibition format. 

 

I am sure you will all join us in wanting to wish them well as we launch them into their new careers in Art and Wellbeing.
