Standing Stones & Living Echoes: Drinks Reception & Meet the Artists

Canfas presents Standing Stones and Living Echoes, two interwoven exhibitions by artists Gillian McDonald and Nicola Beattie, whose practices echo the spirit of Eisteddfod y Garreg Las, honouring its return to Cardigan after 850 years. Drawing inspiration from Pembrokeshire’s ancient stones—enduring markers of time, imagination, and belonging—the artists explore the land as both memory and material, where surface, light, and texture become languages of endurance and renewal. Their work forms a visual counterpart to the songs, poems, and performances that will once again enliven Cardigan—and this special Spring exhibition is the kick-off of celebrations being held in Cardigan in the run-up to the Eisteddfod being held near town later this year.
