It’s where the world’s first million pound deal was struck during the city’s industrial heyday (equivalent to over £100m today). Yet far from cherishing this building, Cardiff council proposes to demolish the main body of the building, keeping only the facades. If this happens, then the magnificent interior with its immense historical significance will be lost forever. This grade 2* listed building deserves better, and the views of the public need to be heard. The Council have been claiming for the past year that it is on the point of collapse. No works have been done, yet there is no apparent evidence that the building is about to collapse. It is questioned if Cardiff Council were able to use section 78 powers under the building act to progress their plans, and this needs to be investigated openly. So much of Cardiff Bay’s social and built heritage has already been destroyed; it seems inconceivable that more can be cast aside with cynical abandon. It’s unclear why the council refuses to see the value of restoring the Coal Exchange to protect this iconic building for the use and enjoyment of future generations.

  • Age Really IS Just a Number!
    Age really IS just a number! Age really IS just a number! Caerphilly is probably best known for its cheese, but a project set up to look at stereotypes of younger and older people has found that people from Caerphilly and across the United Kingdom are really cheesed off with how they are portrayed. Age is Just a Number! is a local campaign in Caerphilly that has attracted interest from across Wales and beyond. The campaign aims to promote better understanding, improve tolerance, and help bridge the generation gap between older and younger people. The campaign uses powerful, positive pictures submitted by Caerphilly residents. The overarching aim of Age is just a number! is to encourage orgnaisations and the Media to use more positive images, which in time it will begin to break down some of the negative stereotypes people have of younger and older people. THE CAMPAIGN The campaign started in 2010 with a photographic competition themed “We are not as bad as you think we are!” to help find a stock of positive images that would challenge current stereotypes of young and old alike. The competition was followed up with questionnaires that attracted over 650 responses from every part of Wales and across the United Kingdom. The results showed that people are very clear in their views on the impact of stereotypes and how they make them feel as individuals. When people were asked whether negative stereotypes influence our perceptions of age and a staggering 95% agreed. Negative stereotypes influence people's opinion of Age 100 80 95 60 40 5 20

  • Cardiff to Costa Rica : Journey of a Lifetime
    Cardiff To Costa Rica : Journey Of A Lifetime ‘Journey of a Lifetime’: This factual series, comprising six half hour episodes, reveals the at times heartbreaking and often uplifting stories of 34 people trekking through the Costa Rican Rainforest in aid of the charity Marie Curie. Each has a personal reason for embarking on the adventure, but all must work together to complete the journey of a lifetime. In April 2016 a group of charity fundraisers will leave the Marie Curie Hospice in Penarth and travel to Costa Rica to embark on an eight day trek up volcanoes and through rainforest, over some treacherous terrain, with the aim of raising more than £100,000 between them. Some are trekking in memory of a loved one, others want to push themselves to their limits, and every member of the team wants to raise money for a fantastic cause. Last year Tracey and Liam Maton lost their brother Craig to cancer. Craig had been cared for by the team at Marie Curie, so now Tracey and Craig want to help other families like themselves. For them the trek will be particularly hard, because they’ll be marking Craig’s birthday while they’re in Costa Rica. For Bryan Gunton and Dave Went this trek will be third time lucky. The two friends met on a Marie Curie hike across the Sahara, and later went on to complete a trek along the Great Wall of China. The pair has tales of the trials and tribulations that trekkers face on these charity journeys and they’ll be integral to the success of this latest challenge.

  • Magazine-October-2019-Large-Print
    CHAPTER 10.19 ART Garth Evans But, Hands Have Eyes: Six decades of sculpture Until 26.01.20 ‘But, Hands Have Eyes’ is a solo exhibition featuring six decades of sculpture. Alongside works produced in the UK in the 1960s and 70s, Evans also presents a body of work for their UK premiere, that he has produced in the United States since his move there in 1981. The work of Garth Evans is integral to the history of British sculpture. Experimenting with the potential of scale, weight, medium and form, Evans’ work comprises both a formal and conceptual approach. He is always interested in interrogating established boundaries and, as a result, his sculptures are made from a diverse range of materials including ceramics, steel, leather and fibreglass. Evans states that many of his works, even when most abstract, are “triggers for, and containers of, particular identifiable memories”. Ultimately, Garth Evans’ works are ambiguous, multi-faceted and completely original. Gallery Opening Times: Tue, Wed, Sat, Sun: 12–6pm, Thu, Fri: 12– 8pm, Mon: Closed Talks at 4 26.10.19 FREE Are you interested in finding out a little bit more about our latest exhibition? Then why not join us for a free and informal guided tour! Our ‘Talks at 4’ are led by our wonderful gallery assistants and are a great way to delve a little deeper into our current exhibition by Garth Evans and his approach to his work. No two talks are the same so come along and be a part of the conversation. Garth Evans: Untitled Sculpture Until 18.03.2020 Cardiff, The Hayes In 1972 Garth Evans created a large-scale sculpture that was placed in The Hayes, Cardiff city centre for six months as part of a ground-breaking national sculpture project.
