Picturemakers/Y Llunwyr: Changing Landscapes
Landscape in art is often the vehicle for lyrical and poetic painting but landscape can also be a much more contested area. In the age of the Anthropocene human impact is a central issue. With debates of climate change, sustainable agriculture, fishing rights, conservation, wilding, immigration, war and refugees, the land and the sea can take on new meanings. Picturemakers/YLlunwyr, a collective of visual artists working in Mid Wales, have chosen this title as an exercise to stimulate creative practice and bring together some of the diverse approaches in the group. Key themes for inspiration include land use, weather, geology, farming, working harbours, seaside tourism, war devastation and migration.

With last year’s transport rally being a roaring success, we are excited to host the event again for 2020. We had over 500 vehicles in attendance last year, and a huge crowd of enthralled spectators, all of whom made it a fantastic day..
So this year, we are putting the pedal to the metal, and are busy organizing lots of exciting things, including live music, the famous midday cavalcade, and exciting activities for the children!
