The aim of the project is to pilot how schools can more easily access national collections – and how galleries that are part of the CELF network might help facilitate that. This project offers one model of working. Storiel and Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw have worked with two primary schools – Ysgol Garnedd (Bangor) and Ysgol Cymerau (Pwllheli) respectively, the artist Luned Rhys Parri and Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales.
The annual Open Art exhibition is open to artists and students of 16 and over who live or work in Wales. There are 75 works by 57 artists in this year's exhibition. This year’s Guest Judge was Luned Rhys Parri, selecting alongside Jeremy Yates.
