Offsite Projects
Oriel Davies’ outreach and off-site projects take contemporary art outside the gallery walls to reach new audiences, bringing together artists and the wider community.

This took the form of a lupine march to accompany the participants to Bryn Bank above the town for the first ‘Public Howl’ in Wales. more >
