Showing off our rubbish!

After the hard work of the litter picks in Machynlleth, Newtown, Welshpool, Llanfair Caereinion and Llanidloes, the ‘Oriel Sbwriel/Litter-Arty’ project will go on display with grant support from the Ashley Family Foundation, via Community Foundation Wales.

Organised by Celf-Able, the litter has been turned into stunning art boards at the co-working facility at Focus Newtown Enterprise Hub, Pryce-Jones.

By working with Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust, Siawns Teg and local artists Terri Sweeney and Jo Munton, with the support of the Waste Awareness team at Powys County Council, the finished artwork will go on display in each of the towns, and will then be given a permanent home in Newtown.

The artwork is on the theme of ‘the elements’, to highlight how the climate crisis affects local communities, as well as the global impacts.

The artboards are made of recycled plastic and have been decorated to represent Earth/Air/Fire/Water.

“We will be holding regular face-to-face group sessions on November 23 and December 21 at The Institute, Llanfair Caereinion from 11am-3pm,” said a spokesperson.

If you would like to support Celf-Able, a Cyfeillion/Friends of Celf-Able membership is just £6 annually for individuals, £12 for organisations, and will ensure regular news and updates, and reduced-price attendance at workshops.  

Original art is also available online at https://admin839500.wixsite.com/celf-able/store.
