BayArt is artist-led at its heart, embedded within a beautiful, intimate, creative space in one of Cardiff Bay’s busy streets. Butetown Artists occupy 16 studios above the gallery, along with a studio flat suitable as an artist residency/research space. BayArt gallery exists to support fine art practice, through offering a platform for exhibitions to a range of emerging and mid career artists, fro

m Wales and further afield. BayArt also offers interpretation of its exhibitions for a range of different audiences through artists talks, seminars and workshops. Key to every show is the invitation to schools to work with the gallery on projects to develop children’s and teacher’s understanding of contemporary art. The approach is one of inclusivity and accessibility, seeing the gallery as a creative space, in which art can be experienced and explored.

🇪🇸 ‘Return to Sender’ reúne a un grupo de artistas españoles y galeses que trabajan la memoria como algo inestable, físico y nunca del todo concluido.

A través de la pintura, la imagen y distintos procesos materiales, las obras exploran cómo el pasado insiste en tomar forma —no como algo preservado intacto— sino transformado, plegado y traducido a través de la materia.

Exposición abierta del 13 al 25 de febrero.

Inauguración (PV): 13 de febrero, de 18:00 a 21:00 — entrada libre.

Horario: miércoles y sábados, de 12:00 a 17:00 o con cita previa.

Pia Paulina Guilmoth - Artist Talk - Tuesday 4th November, Joining us via video call in the Gallery. 6:30pm (7:00pm start).

Joining us from rural Maine, USA, Pia-Paulina will talk us through the importance of process and place in her work.

The work of Pia-Paulina Guilmoth speaks of time and transition. She creates magical utopias through the play of the lens that goes beyond legal definitions. In conversation with curator of ExtraLegal, Tudor Etchells, we’ll get close to the importance of practice as a way of living and photography as a vital tool of imagination in the world.”
