Oherwydd poblogrwydd cynyddol ein Harddangosfa Haf flynyddol a'r nifer uchel o geisiadau a dderbyniwyd yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, cyffrous yw cyflwyno fformat newydd o 2027 ymlaen / Due to the continued growth and popularity of our annual Summer Exhibition, we are excited to be introducing a new format from 2027 onwards. 

(PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH)

Mae Plas Glyn-y-Weddw yn falch iawn o lansio Arddangosfa Agored yr Haf 2027, ein harddangosfa cyfryngau cymysg flynyddol sy'n dathlu creadigrwydd o bob cwr o Gymru a thu hwnt.

Bydd yr arddangosfa'n parhau i gynnig cyfle i artistiaid ym mhob cam o'u taith greadigol arddangos a gwerthu gwaith yn un o ganolfannau celfyddydau blaenllaw Cymru. Er mwyn cefnogi'r twf hwn a sicrhau arddangosfa fywiog ac o ansawdd uchel, bydd pob artist sy'n cymryd rhan bellach yn cael ei ddewis trwy broses gyflwyno agored.

Amdanom

Mae Plas Glyn y Weddw yn ganolfan gelf sydd yn cael ei rheoli gan ymddiriedolaeth elusenol annibynnol yng ngogledd Cymru. Trwy ein rhaglen lawn o arddangosfeydd a gweithgareddau amrywiol rydym yn rhoi ffocws ar gelf, treftadaeth, diwylliant a'r amgylchedd naturiol gan ddenu dros 100,000 o ymwelwyr yn flynyddol. Rydym yn disgwyl 30,000 o ymwelwyr i'r arddangosfa yma fydd yn cael ei chynnal rhwng diwedd Gorffennaf a dechrau Hydref.

Mae ein rhaglen o arddangosfeydd yn newid bob tymor, gan roi cyfle i artistiaid o Gymru a thu hwnt arddangos a gwerthu eu gwaith, rydym yn cynnal dros 20 o arddangosfeydd gwahanol yn flynyddol. Mae gan dîm staff yr oriel brofiad helaeth o drefnu a churadu arddangosfeydd yn ogystal a rheoli galwadau agored am artistiaid i arddangos neu gymeryd rhan mewn prosiectau penodol.

Pwy All Ymgeisio?

Rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau gan artistiaid o bob cefndir a lefel o brofiad. P'un ai ydych chi'n artist proffesiynol, yn ymarferydd sy'n dod i'r amlwg, yn fyfyriwr, neu'n rhywun sy'n creu yn eich amser hamdden, rydym yn eich annog i gyflwyno eich gwaith i gael ei ystyried. 
Rhaid i ymgeiswyr fod yn 16 oed neu'n hŷn. 
 
Y Broses Ddethol

O 2027 ymlaen, rhaid i bob artist sy'n dymuno arddangos gyflwyno eu gwaith trwy'r broses ymgeisio ar-lein. 
Bydd panel dethol annibynnol yn adolygu pob cyflwyniad.

Bydd gweithiau llwyddiannus yn rhan o arddangosfa "oddi ar y wal" cyfrwng cymysg, lle mae gweithiau celf ar gael i'w prynu a'u casglu ar unwaith drwy gydol cyfnod yr arddangosfa. O ganlyniad, bydd yr arddangosfa'n esblygu'n barhaus wrth i weithiau gael eu gwerthu. 

Y gweithiau a gyflwynir drwy'r broses ymgeisio fydd y gweithiau a ystyrir i'w dewis ac, os cânt eu dewis, byddant yn cael eu harddangos yn Arddangosfa'r Haf 2027. Felly, dylai artistiaid sicrhau bod y delweddau a gyflwynir yn cynrychioli'n gywir y gwaith celf y maent yn bwriadu ei arddangos.

Rhaid i'r gweithiau a gyflwynir fod ar gael ar gyfer yr arddangosfa, gan na dderbynnir gweithiau amgen na rhai yn lle'r rhai gwreiddiol.

Gwerthiannau a Chomisiwn

Mae Plas Glyn-y-Weddw yn codi comisiwn o 43% ar bob gwaith celf a werthir yn ystod yr arddangosfa. Caiff y comisiwn hwn ei dynnu o'r pris gwerthu terfynol.

Plas Glyn-y-Weddw is delighted to launch the Open Summer Exhibition 2027, our annual mixed-media showcase celebrating creativity from across Wales and beyond.

The exhibition will continue to offer artists at all stages of their creative journey the opportunity to exhibit and sell work at one of Wales’ leading arts centres. To support this growth and ensure a vibrant and high-quality exhibition, all participating artists will now be selected through an open submission process.

About Us

Plas Glyn-y-Weddw is an arts centre managed by an independent charitable trust in North Wales. T

hrough our full programme of exhibitions and varied activities, we focus on art, heritage, culture and the natural environment, attracting over 100,000 visitors annually.

We expect 30,000 visitors to attend this exhibition, which will take place between the end of July and the beginning of October.

Our exhibition programme changes each season, providing opportunities for artists from Wales and beyond to exhibit and sell their work, and we host over 20 different exhibitions annually.

Our gallery staff team has extensive experience in organising and curating exhibitions, as well as managing open calls for artists to exhibit or take part in specific projects.

Who Can Apply?

We welcome applications from artists of all backgrounds and levels of experience.

Whether you are a professional artist, an emerging practitioner, a student, or someone who creates in your spare time, we encourage you to submit your work for consideration. 

Applicants must be 16 years of age or over. 
 
Selection Process 

From 2027 onwards, all artists wishing to exhibit must submit their work through the online application process. 

All submissions will be reviewed by an independent selection panel.

Successful works will form part of a mixed-media "off-the-wall" exhibition, where artworks are available for immediate purchase and collection throughout the exhibition period. As a result, the exhibition will continually evolve as works are sold. 

The works submitted must be available for the exhibition, as alternative works or substitutes for the original works will not be accepted.  Artists should therefore ensure that submitted images accurately represent the artwork they intend to exhibit.

Sales & Commission

Plas Glyn-y-Weddw charges a 43% commission (including VAT) on all artworks sold during the exhibition. This commission is deducted from the final sale price.

 Awards

  • Judges' Choice Award – £1,500 +  a future solo artist show
  • Young Artist Award (Under 25) – £500  
     

Submission Fees 

  • £15 for up to 3 works
