Bargoed & District Art SocietyThe Bargoed and District Art Society was founded in 1963 with the object of "advancing pure and applied art in the surrounding district". The Society has around forty members. It meets weekly at 7.00pm in Bethany Church School Room , near the Boy`s Club, Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly County Borough, South Wales. We enjoy an interesting and varied programme of activities. These range from demonstrations, talks, videos and displays, to social events culminating in the Annual Dinner. Take a look at the Programme of Events 2004 for details. Throughout the summer members have open air sketching evenings at places of local interest, whilst art displays and `Artists at Work` days are held at fetes and functions. One such artists at work day was this year`s event at Parc Cwm Darran. One of the highlights of the programme is the Annual Exhibition and Sale, held over a week at Ystrad Mynach Church Hall. On average 260 original paintings are exhibited and offered for sale. During the day time, sessions are held for local schoolchildren and several hundred come along to enjoy the artwork and to take part in painting activities. You can see more of the 2003 event by selecting the link on the left. Also, the archives contain details of the 2002 sale. |
