RO250
A new artwork for the green spaces is on its way
This month a new public art commission by Howard Bowcott will be installed in the green spaces. It will be a platform for debate, a space for contemplation, a meeting point, a way marker, a place for socialising. It will feature words in Welsh and English by Sadia Pineda Hameed and Dylan Huw.
The project is funded by Welsh Government, Powys County Council, Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn Town Council and the Robert Owen Museum. The partner organisations are the Arts Council of Wales, Oriel Davies Gallery and Race Council Cymru.
