Locws Schools exhibition launch at Swansea Civic Centre was a success
Today, Cabinet Member for Education Councillor Mike Day opened the Locws Schools exhibition at Swansea Civic Centre. The exhibition included artworks by pupils from Ysgol Crug Glas, Ysgol Gymraeg Felindre, Ysgol Pen-y-Bryn, Pen-y-Fro Primary School and Seaview Primary School. The artworks were made in response to artwork in Locws International’s ‘Art Across The City’ event in April and May 2011. The launch was a success with pupils, teachers, Councillors, local artists and members of the public all attending to celebrate the pupils’ artistic achievements.

The Locws Schools exhibition is shown alongside the current ‘Art Across The City’ event which involves five new temporary artworks sited across Swansea, both exhibitions are free and open to the public until the 30th October.
