Welcome / Croeso The Gallery redevelopment is making good progress, with the recent successful formal launch of the project attended by the Minister for Culture and Sport, John Griffiths and Councillor Nick Bradley, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration. The project is funded by the City & County of Swansea, Arts Council of Wales, the Heritage Lottery Fund and Welsh Government. Colourful displays are a new addition to the hoardings outside the Gallery; based on the theme of ‘place’, these include many views of Swansea selected from the collection by our 55+ and Young People groups. Commentaries are also online, together with detailed plans of the future Gallery. Our offsite Learning programme offers a warm welcome at the YMCA, whilst our 4site programme continues in schools. Please join us too at Mission Gallery for the opening of a new work in progress by Toril Brancher, exploring the life of artist, Glenys Cour, who has contributed so much to our city in the last sixty years and more. Thank you for your continued support.

Mae'r gwaith o ailddatblygu'r Oriel yn mynd rhagddo'n dda a chynhaliwyd lansiad swyddogol llwyddiannus yn ddiweddar yng nghwmni John Griffiths AM, Gweinidog Diwylliant a Chwaraeon, a'r Cynghorydd Nick Bradley, Aelod Cabinet Cyngor Abertawe dros Adfywio. Ariennir y prosiect gan Ddinas a Sir Abertawe, Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, Cronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri a Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae arddangosfeydd lliwgar wedi’u hychwanegu at yr hysbysfyrdd y tu allan i'r Oriel; yn seiliedig ar thema 'lle', mae'r rhain yn cynnwys nifer o olygfeydd o Abertawe a ddetholwyd o'r casgliad gan ein grwpiau 55+ a phobl ifanc. Gellir gweld sylwebaeth ar-lein hefyd, ynghyd â chynlluniau manwl yr Oriel ar ei newydd wedd. Mae ein rhaglen ddysgu oddi ar y safle'n estyn croeso cynnes yn y YMCA ac mae'r rhaglen 4safle'n cael ei chynnal mewn ysgolion o hyd. Ymunwch â ni yn Oriel Mission ar gyfer agoriad gwaith ar y gweill newydd Toril Brancher. Mae'n archwilio bywyd yr artist, Glenys Cour, sydd wedi cyfrannu cymaint at ein dinas dros y 60 mlynedd diwethaf a mwy. Diolch am eich cefnogaeth barhaus.

Toril Brancher Looking for Glenys Cour A work in progress / Gwaith ar y gweill First floor, Mission Gallery 21 May - 2 June
Llawr cyntaf, Oriel Mission 21 Mai - 2 Mehefin
“Looking for Glenys Cour began with a desire to see where the content in her paintings originates, where those fabulous colours and landscapes come from… I walked where she walked and looked for the colours and shapes that she found and I think I found fragments of her paintings,” Toril Brancher, March 2013. Toril has been commissioned to produce a film, an artist’s portrait of Glenys Cour. In this exhibition we get a rare glimpse of a work in progress, including film and photography of Toril’s search for Glenys within the local landscape. A solo exhibition of Glenys Cour’s work, curated by Mel Gooding, will be part of our exhibition programme when we return to the Gallery, post redevelopment. “Dechreuodd Looking for Glenys Cour gydag awydd i weld o ble daw'r cynnwys yn ei phaentiadau'n wreiddiol - o ble daw'r lliwiau a'r tirweddau gwych... Bûm yn cerdded lle y cerddodd hithau gan chwilio am y lliwiau a'r siapiau yr oedd hi wedi'u darganfod ac rwy'n credu i mi ddod o hyd i ddarnau o'i phaentiadau,” Toril Brancher, Mawrth 2013. Mae Toril wedi'i chomisiynu i gynhyrchu ffilm, sef portread artist o Glenys Cour. Yn yr arddangosfa hon cawn gipolwg prin o waith ar y gweill gan gynnwys ffilm a ffotograffiaeth o ymgais Toril i chwilio am Glenys yn y dirwedd leol. Bydd arddangosfa unigol o waith Glenys Cour, wedi'i churadu gan Mel Gooding, yn rhan o'n rhaglen arddangosfa pan fyddwn yn dychwelyd i'r Oriel ar ôl yr ailddatblygiad.

COLLECTIONS / CASGLIADAU
Focus on Conservation Whilst the Gallery is offsite, our technical team is engaged in improving our future storage systems for Works on Paper, to improve access to our collection. Our Technical Officer, Ray Davies, is photographed here removing one of the artworks from an old acidic mount, in order to remount it in museum standard board, so that the work will be safely preserved for years to come. Ray will be working with hundreds of works on paper, under the supervision of accredited conservator, Kate Newton, and as part of our Investors in People training programme, supported by a grant from CyMAL, Ray has recently been awarded a much deserved Diploma in Cultural Heritage (Conservation) by EDI, for his work on this project.
Ffocws ar Gadwraeth Tra bod yr oriel yn gweithredu oddi ar y safle, mae ein tĂŽm technegol wrthi'n gwella ein darpar systemau storio ar gyfer gwaith celf ar bapur, er mwyn gwella mynediad i'n casgliad. Mae ein Swyddog Technegol, Ray Davies, yn y llun hwn yn tynnu darn celf o hen osodiad asidig, er mwyn ei ailosod mewn bwrdd amgueddfa safonol, fel y bydd y gwaith yn cael ei gadw'n ddiogel am flynyddoedd i ddod. Bydd Ray yn gweithio gyda channoedd o weithiau celf ar bapur, dan oruchwyliaeth Kate Newton, gwarchodwr achrededig, ac fel rhan o'n rhaglen hyfforddi Buddsoddwyr mewn Pobl, gyda chefnogaeth grant gan CyMAL. Yn ddiweddar mae Ray wedi ennill diploma teilwng iawn mewn Treftadaeth Ddiwylliannol (Cadwraeth) gan EDI, am ei waith ar y prosiect hwn.
