Interventions 2009

Interventions cover

Last updated: 11 August 2009

Interventions Wales 2009 is an international artists cultural exchange between Denmark and Wales, taking place between 10 and 26 September at the Workhouse Gallery and various sites around Llanfyllin. Co-organiser and participating artist, Ruth Carter, told us more about the project in August 2009:
  • More about Walestonia 2008...

  • "The artists will be based at The Workhouse Gallery throughout the week of 21 to 25 September but will also be working in and around Llanfyllin to create temporary interventions that have been inspired by the local environment.

    We hope the residency will produce some exciting, fun and surprising art works for the local community to experience and always welcome and encourage the public to meet and talk with us about our work.
