Who inspires you? 🏴
The theme for our #WonderfulWindows #FfenestriFfantastig is 'inspired by Wales', and few Welsh people have inspired so many recently as Gareth Bale!
We'd love for you to create and craft art to be displayed in your windows on the 25th & 26th of February for the community to enjoy. Remember to take and upload snaps with the hashtags so that we can see and share them too!
Watch this space for details of craft packs and workshops at Awen Libraries and venues over half term!

🖌️ Celebrating Christopher Williams Birthday 🖌️
🖼️ Family on Barmouth Island 🖼️
Christopher Williams enjoyed taking his family on holiday to North Wales, especially in the Barmouth area, which gave him plenty of opportunities to paint coastal scenes as well as the impressive mountainous landscapes.
This painting, ‘Family at Barmouth Island’, shows a more informal and colourful style than the official portrait paintings which Christopher Williams was famous for at the time. The painting can now be found in the Glynn Vivian Art Centre in Swansea.
