As part of Craft Festival Wales and in association with Oriel Myrddin, these six exciting early career artists were selected to respond to artworks from the National Contemporary Art Gallery of Wales. With support from Welsh Government funding, we aim to make these valued collections (held by National Museum Wales and National Library of Wales) more accessible and engaging for all.
