Amser i Siarad x Galeri: Synwyriwm

Project Summary

Synwyriwm is an Arts and Health project created by Amser i Siarad (AiS) and Galeri Caernarfon in collaboration with Plas Newydd, National Trust. The project harnesses the creative arts to support individuals with their mental health. We have commission five Welsh-speaking artists to produce sensory artworks inspired by Plas Newydd’s heritage. These pieces were used in creative workshops with AiS clients, encouraging engagement and meaningful conversations to enhance mental health.

The project will culminate in a touring exhibition at Galeri Caernarfon and Plas Newydd, showcasing both the commissioned works and the art created during workshops. This exhibition aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, promote awareness, and celebrate the intersection of art and health.
