Spaces for creativit

One of our strategic priorities is to open up more spaces for creative cultural activity.

Creative Community Boxes

We have worked in partnership with Welsh public libraries since 2018, and are currently delivering a project providing providing arts and crafts materials to existing community groups in libraries and other venues in Cardiff.

Based on suggestions from the groups, we have provided arts and crafts supplies in each venue, along with a selection of creative prompts in Welsh and English. Each box has our contact details and suggestion slips for further materials, prompts and feedback. We regularly replenish the materials and prompts over the course of the project. The project is supported by a grant from National Lottery Awards for All Wales.

Art & Craft Swaps

We know that some people struggle to afford new art supplies, while others may have spare and unused materials at home. So in addition to the Creative Community Boxes, we're piloting two Art & Craft Swaps in Cardiff Libraries, with further exchanges to follow.
