The Made In Roath Arts Festival –Friday 14th October to Sunday 16th October
Welcome to the Made in Roath 2011 website. This year,the event promises to include an even more diverse and exciting line-up than the previous two years,with lots of new projects in the pipe line,as well as the return of some of the hugely successful initiatives from 2009/10.
Made in Roath was conceived in June 2009 by a small group of Roath residents who share a love of the arts with a love for their community. Since then,through the enthusiasm,generosity and creative vigour of the Roath (and wider) community,the project has evolved,and grown into the action packed weekend outlined here.
Made in Roath is committed to supporting the many local businesses and initiatives who have worked in partnership with us and whose efforts help to make Roath the unique and wonderful place that it is,we also welcome new ideas and partners to work with – if you think you’d like to get involved,or would like to offer your support,please email us at madeinroath@gmail.com.
Although we have several established Roath art venues involved,one of our primary aims is to take art out of the gallery and into the wider community,allowing a larger and broader audience to access the plethora of creative talent,skills and excellence in our neighborhood and in Cardiff’s wider arts community.
This October,resident and visiting artists present their work in domestic,commercial,public and sometimes overlooked spaces in the area. Look,listen and explore,and you will find art,in its many,different forms,all over and Roundabout Roath.
Unless otherwise stated,all exhibits and participatory projects are free and family friendly;please check individual listings for details of opening times and disabled access.
The festival will soon be listed on the Visit Cardiff website (www.visitcardiff.com/events),and there will information on @CreativeCardiff,which will be live soon.
