Welcome To Community Arts Rhayader And District
We are an independent charity promoting participation in arts and heritage activity
What's On In September
Rhayader Museum is physically closed for now, due to exciting building modifications and a redesign of our museum exhibits.
However our theatre space is still fully operational!
We understand many of you will be disappointed by the closures – we look forward to welcoming you back to experience everything we will have to offer! We are also building a new outside exhibition space, opening very soon so you will still be able to enjoy your local heritage before our grand re-opening.
Phil “the bug man” Ward is a local legend, as much for his extensive knowledge and enthusiasm as for his huge collection of samples!
Come and learn about the fantastical world of insects around us, and then come back the following Friday to learn about the specific species involved in the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust‘s Rhos Pasture Restoration Project, and why conservation of this local habitat is so vital.
You will have plenty of opportunity at both sessions to explore form, tone, line and even – gasp – colour, with our friendly support and free materials.
There’s also free tea and biscuits!
Design and Research Group
CARAD are redeveloping Rhayader Museum to extend the gallery space. We want to build on our earlier and ongoing community consultations which have given us a wealth of new subject areas and interesting ideas to look at in more depth. As with our past successful community projects, we want to bring a group of interested people together to work with a professional designer to bring those ideas to life. We will learn from each other and create an amazing new space. If you are interested in research, designing spaces or displays or would just like to get involved and see where you fit in, please get in touch. This is a positive, forward looking opportunity to have a long-term impact on our local community, schools, and visitors alike.
We are very mindful of Covid security and will be arranging covid safe meetings, starting in early July in line with guidelines.
Please contact us as soon as you can.
Can you Donate?
We are entirely volunteer-led
and are reliant on donations to keep us up and running!
