The Directors of The Machynlleth Tabernacle Trust are delighted to announce the Opening at MOMA Machynlleth of one of the most exciting events in the art world in Wales, the inauguration of Young Welsh Artists – Artistiaid Ifainc Cymru. This event, designed to show the work of artists under 30 working in Wales, will take place annually in November at MOMA Machynlleth.<\/p>\n
The artists presented in the inaugural exhibition are Lili Hauser, Elin Hughes, Guto Morgan, Abby Poulson, Rhiannon Rees, Jasmine Sheckleford, Owain Sparnon, Tomos Sparnon, Ethan Dodd and Sara Treble-Parry.<\/p>\n
Our special thanks go to Lydia Lambert whose donation to the Trust was the inspiration for AIC; to Dr Robert Meyrick for his invaluable advice; and to our two Curators Dr Lloyd Roderick and Mari Elin Jones whose enthusiasm and commitment has never wavered however dismal the outside scene.<\/p>\n
If a traditional exhibition is allowed rigorous health measures will be in place. If not, the exhibition will be filmed and will go out online. Either way we hope you will enjoy sharing with us the opportunity to see the very best of what Young Welsh Artists can offer.<\/p>\n
