Good News, Everyone!

My animation 'Street Act' will be shown at 'made in Roath' film screenings at the SHO Gallery

madeinroath is an artist-led, free event, now in its 4th year, which aims to take art out of the gallery and into the wider community, allowing a larger and broader audience to access the wealth of creative talent in our neighbourhood whilst maintaining a standard of excellence, reflecting the contemporary art scene in Cardiff and South Wales.

It showcases the work of emerging and established artists, makers, musicians, writers and performers, who use the whole of Roath as the venue, including domestic, commercial, public and overlooked or disused spaces.

madeinroath offers residents and visitors an opportunity to engage in the arts through a dynamic programme of exhibitions, residencies, collaborations with community groups, workshops and performances.

Canterbury Anifest

festival programme - Canterbury Anifest

As Canterbury Anifest approaches its 6th year the question ‘What is Anifest?’ is as important as ever- and it is exactly this that makes the event so special and exciting. Just over five years ago the first ever Canterbury Anifest kicked off with a series of workshops and master classes exploring the animation industry and all the different skills and creative disciplines that go in to making an animated film.

Canterbury Anifest is the South East’s only annual animation festival. It’s a great community event that invites people of all ages to come and experience the magic of animation; allowing them to get involved with something out of the ordinary. With its range of workshops, young people awards and family-friendly events, it has something for everyone. Anifest also caters for specialists and those in the industry, featuring national and international awards, and guest speakers from some of the biggest names in animation.

Extremely excited as this will be my first time attending Canterbury anifest after only finding out about late last year going into my third year at university i vowed to make sure i go this year, time is booked off, festival pass booked only train and accommodation to sort next.
