Hiraeth: A Celebration of Home and Belonging
Opening on Saturday 6th September at 2pm our new exhibition, Hiraeth, will feature atmospheric works by Studio 40 artists. It is an ode to the nostalgic and often emotionally charged nature of home, family, and displacement. Using a variety of mediums the artists delve into the essence of home to examine its role in shaping memories and identities.
Hiraeth presents us a space that embodies the spectre of the home. It emulates the familiar sights, smells, and sounds of home and offers us a glimpse into the enduring notion of home, amidst the trials of emptiness and grief.
‘This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.’
Yn agor ddydd Sadwrn 6ed Medi am 2pm bydd ein harddangosfa newydd, Hiraeth, yn cynnwys gweithiau atmosfferig gan artistiaid Stiwdio 40. Mae'n od i natur hiraethus ac yn aml yn llawn emosiwn cartref, teulu, a dadleoli. Gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o gyfryngau mae'r artistiaid yn ymchwilio i hanfod cartref i archwilio ei rôl wrth lunio atgofion a hunaniaethau.
Mae Hiraeth yn cyflwyno lle i ni sy'n ymgorffori bwgan y cartref. Mae'n efelychu golygfeydd, arogleuon a synau cyfarwydd cartref ac yn cynnig cipolwg i ni ar y syniad parhaol o gartref, yng nghanol treialon gwacter a galar.
‘Mae’r prosiect hwn wedi’i ariannu gan lywodraeth y DU trwy Gronfa Ffyniant a Rennir y DU.’
Really enjoyed this spotlight on Philip Cumpstone. The way his creative process and influences were explained made the artwork feel much more personal and engaging. I recently read a similar artist-focused piece on a trentonjonesmd https://trentonjonesmd.com/ review blog, which added an interesting perspective too.
Loved reading about these exhibitions—your descriptions really brought the artwork and atmosphere to life. It’s great to see local creativity highlighted like this. I recently saw a comparable arts feature on a nptica-based https://nptica.com blog, and it made for a nice parallel.

Loved this post! The feature on Philip Cumpstone was engaging and well-written. I recently saw a coversinplay-based https://www.coversinplay.com discussion on artist spotlights, which offered a complementary perspective on appreciating creative work.
What a lovely overview of the upcoming exhibitions. The descriptions really capture the creativity and variety on display, and it’s clear a lot of care went into curating this lineup.
