about us
Our aim is to promote and develop the artist’s role in the public realm in Wales. To do this we will find and create opportunities for artists in regeneration schemes and new build developments, to have a creative input in terms of both design and implementation.
Our goal is to bring clients and artists together for the commissioning of site-specific artworks which exceed the clients’ expectations. We have extensive knowledge and understanding of artists’ practice in both the fine and applied arts and are constantly researching new artists to add to our database.
The artistic side of Celfwaith is led by Mererid Velios who has a proven track record of managing public art commissions and preparing public art strategies during her time as Senior Project Manager for Cywaith Cymru.
