  • Eisteddfod Branding
    The National Eisteddfod The National Eisteddfod is Wales’ largest festival, held alternately in north and south Wales, celebrating the Welsh language and culture of Wales. Its history can be traced back to the court of the Lord Rhys in 1176, with the modern day Eisteddfod held every year bar one since 1861. The festival has evolved and developed greatly over the past ten years, with over 1,000 events held across the Maes (site) during the eight-day festival. The Eisteddfod also plays host to over 200 competitions, with many of these held in the main Pavilion during the week. The other events are held across the Maes, some in semi- permanent buildings and others in attractive tents and yurts, such as Tŷ Gwerin and Caffi Maes B. We know the Eisteddfod and the community project are unique. Our brand needs to celebrate and embrace this uniqueness. Information on the festival and all events can be found online, www.eisteddfod.wales The project The Eisteddfod is looking to rebrand the festival and the organisation over the next year. The Eisteddfod festival is an iconic brand, the word itself is known across the world, and our brand needs to reflect this, with the word playing a central part in any graphic. Typography is very important to us. With so many events and activities held during the week and the community project, the typography must be strong and instantly recognisable – emphasising the uniqueness of the festival and the project and its central place in the culture of Wales. The successful agency will need to deliver a brand which overcomes a number of challenges.

  • An Exposition to Transform the Arts of a Nation a Small Open Space in A
    An Exposition to Transform the Arts of a Nation A small open space in a crowded downtown city with trains, cars, boats, and even a rollercoaster drowning out the sense of calm usually found outside. But within this small open space, there is a circle of 12 large stones hosting ceremonies for the arts and initiating a new tradition to the Western Hemisphere. The 1913 Pittsburgh International Eisteddfod was held between July 2nd and July 5th at Exposition Hall near Pittsburgh’s point. The festival and competition spread throughout the Exposition buildings and outside to the Gorsedd Stone Circle held near the Fort Pitt Blockhouse. The 1913 Eisteddfod stands out among the Eisteddfodau of history as the establishment of the American Order of the Bards and the first American Bardic Circle. The Eisteddfod is a traditional Welsh celebration and the first official National Eisteddfod was held in 1176. Following the first Eisteddfod in 1176, many eisteddfodau were held throughout Wales, under the patronage of Welsh gentry and noblemen. The Eisteddfod eventually developed into a folk festival on a grand scale. After declining in popularity in the 18th century, it was revived in the early years of the 19th. In 1880, the National Eisteddfod Association was formed and since then an Eisteddfod has been held every year, except for 1914 and 1940. The Pittsburgh International Eisteddfod was held in Pittsburgh due to Mrs. David Davis and her son James J. Davis. Mrs. Davis attended Eisteddfodau when she was young in Wales and explained her sentimental thoughts on the Eisteddfodau prompting her son, James J Davis, to propose hosting an International Eisteddfod in Pittsburgh.

  • The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding?
    The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Vol.8 2013 International Journal of Intangible Heritage 103 The ICH of Wales The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Wales: a Need for Safeguarding? David Howell Lecturer, History department, University of Wales, Newport. ABSTRACT In the last decade, appearances of the Mari Lwyd have steadily increased during winter time in Wales. A tradition based around the decoration of a horse’s skull, regulated competitive verse and song, and community integration, would in many other parts of the world be acknowledged and celebrated as intangible cultural heritage. Yet, while the number of nations to have ratified the UNESCO Convention on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage continues to grow on an annual basis, no such examples can be found in Wales however, or any other part of the United Kingdom, due to a continuing position of reticence from the Westminster government toward the convention. Does this lack of ratification indicate that Wales is not home to any examples of intangible cultural heritage? This article explores the notion of whether Wales is home to any valid forms of intangible cultural heritage, before challenging whether the same vulnerability seen in many of the international examples of intangible heritage can be illustrated in Wales. Ultimately this will argue that Welsh intangible cultural heritage is an important, living component of contemporary Welsh culture, and that UK ratification of the treaty, rather than being something that might be desired in Wales, should in fact be considered as a necessity. Keywords Mari Lwyd, Christmas traditions, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru (EGC), or the National Eisteddfod of Wales, Super Furry Animals (SFA), Welsh culture, competition, language festival, step-dancing, revivals.

  • Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader
    Eisteddfod handout prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader An eisteddfod is a Welsh festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176 but, with the decline of the bardic tradition, it fell into abeyance. The present-day format owes much to an eighteenth-century revival arising out of a number of informal eisteddfodau. The date of the first eisteddfod is a matter of much debate among scholars, but boards for the judging of poetry definitely existed in Wales from at least as early as the twelfth century, and it is likely that the ancient Celtic bards had formalized ways of judging poetry as well. The first eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, under the auspices of Lord Rhys, at his castle in Cardigan. There he held a grand gathering to which were invited poets and musicians from all over the country. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that prevails in the modern day National Eisteddfod. The earliest large-scale eisteddfod that can be proven beyond all doubt to have taken place, however, was the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, which took place in 1451. The next recorded large-scale eisteddfod was held in Caerwys in 1568. The prizes awarded were a miniature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver crwth to the winning fiddler, a silver tongue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the best harpist.

  • Light Springs Through the Dark: a Vision for Culture in Wales FOREWORD Culture Is Important
    December 2016 Light Springs through the Dark: A Vision for Culture in Wales FOREWORD Culture is important. I am making this statement because I wish to… • Remind people how important culture is. At times like these it is more important than ever to people and communities; a vital buttress that protects and enhances our quality of life. • Promote more debate within Welsh politics and society about the value of culture, and how best we can work together to nurture and promote it. • Encourage bright ideas and initiatives, from whatever source. • Set out my ambitions for culture for this Assembly term, and unite our efforts across Government to extract maximum value from our investment in Culture. The Welsh Government is fully national goals. As the goal is described committed to culture. By ‘culture’, or this is about creating ‘a society that ‘diwylliant’ in Welsh, we mean the arts, promotes and protects culture, heritage music, literature and heritage or put and the Welsh language, and which another way, all of the creative activities encourages people to participate in the that give people purpose, and a sense of arts, and sports and recreation’. belonging and identity. However there is work to be done to We see culture as a priority. We believe re-unite our country. The result of the in it for its own sake, and in supporting Referendum on EU membership showed it with public funds. Culture is central to that we have a divided society. We need our society and our sense of nationhood, to reconcile divisions, and ensure people and embodies both our national feel connected and enfranchised.
