Programme of activity Based on the campus of Aberystwyth University, Aberystwyth Arts Centre continues to be one of Wales’ busiest and most vibrant cultural hubs. Last year, there were over 400,000 attenders for the Arts Centre’s vast and eclectic artistic programme. This programme included theatre performance, visual arts and new media, applied arts, film and cinema, festivals, music, literature, education/outreach programmes and community arts programmes. With such a diverse and wide-ranging programme it is almost invidious to pick out highlights. However, by mentioning some of the particular achievements, it becomes easier to offer an indicative sense of the Arts Centre’s programme policy. The visual arts and new media programme saw over 50 artists showing work in 2008/09). These included South African William Kentridge, Seven Fragments for George Melies, Day for Night and Journey to the Moon, an extraordinary installation of nine projected works playing alongside each other with one soundtrack. Jordan Baseman, with Inside Man , showed a programme of four projected works with one specifically commissioned by the Arts Centre projected at the entrance to the exhibition.
