roz moreton1 Comment

It’s finally here – all our hard work and the support of the Big Lottery Fund has resulted in us producing ‘Drawing on the Past’ Mural Painting Day at the Kidwelly Industrial Museum.

Thanks to the support of the Trustees of the Museum we are able to put on the this event.

Starting at 11am this morning we will have a morning (11am -1pm) and afternoon (2pm-4pm) session of painting the Reception Building at the museum.

We will have a community lunch at 1-2pm kindly produced by Caffi Iechyd Da it will be free to all the mural participants.

We also have a Kidwelly Black Cat Trail – suitable to the under 12’s

And last but not least we have produced an exhibition of all the work that has been produced over the last 2 sketchbook walks in the Kidwelly area,

**Also we have a free bus that will be shuttling people for Kidwelly Town Square to the Museum curtesy of Burns Pet Food.

We would like to say a huge thanks to the community for supporting our events and are looking forward to our next project…

Thanks to Lucy, Sian and Lindsey in prepping the site ready for today – Roz due to illness has been supporting on the digital front.

Funded by the Big Lottery Fund we have developed a Community Arts Project in collaboration with the trustees of Kidwelly Industrial Museum called ‘Drawing on the Past’.

Which has comprised of 3 Sketchbook Walks in the Kidwelly Area open to all abilities, ages and focusing on the Industrial Heritage of the Kidwelly area:

  • The Castle Walk to Kidwelly Castle
  • Kidwelly Quay
  • Kidwelly Industrial Museum (including a tour)

Sketches from these events (submitted by participants) have been collated and developed into a design for the Mural Painting event at the Kidwelly Industrial Museum.

The Mural will be painted on the Reception Block of the Museum by the general public and supported and guided by the four artists from the Gwendraeth Arts Lab:
Roz Moreton, Lucy Donald, Sian Barlow and Lindsey Witcombe.

The ‘Drawing on the Past’ project has been supported by the Big Lottery Fund, The Kidwelly Industrial Museum and at the Mural Painting Day by Caffi Iechyd Da, which will be providing a community picnic for the event and a FREE Bus from Kidwelly Town centre courtesy of Burns Pet Food.
