To celebrate the return of the National Eisteddfod to Cardigan for the first time in 850 years, Oriel Canfas and Craft Festival Wales present Aur — an exhibition bringing together Gold Medallists in fine art and craft. Curated by Suzi Park and Sarah James MBE, Director of Craft in Wales, the exhibition opens the evening before the Eisteddfod with a special event in the town on 31 July, with music from Julie Murphy and Ceri Rhys Matthews of Fernhill.
As sponsor of the Gold Medal for Fine Art at this year's Eisteddfod y Garreg Las, Oriel Canfas has brought together a number of previous medal winners for this exhibition. Aur runs 1 August – 13 September, closing to coincide with the return of Craft Festival to Cardigan Castle, directly opposite the gallery, 11–13 September.
