Temporary Gallery Closure

The gallery is having significant Welsh Government investment through the Arts Council of Wales. Almost £1m is being used to improve our infrastructure, security, environmental controls and replace the roof as we become a partner in the National Contemporary Art Gallery for Wales, with the National Museum / Amgueddfa Cymru and the National Library / Llyfrgell Genedlaethol.

Oriel Davies will be closed from the 9th of September until the spring 2025.

This investment will enable us to bring works from the National Collections to Newtown to display alongside contemporary visual art.

We will continue our work in the community during this time - check our website for upcoming events

We would love you to come and show your support in our current Consultation Station in the gallery or please compete our survey online here.

On behalf of director Steffan Jones-Hughes and the team, we want to say a massive thank you to all the volunteers, artists, makers, coffeemakers, coffee drinkers, dog walkers, art lovers, gift buyers, Newtown communities and businesses for supporting the gallery!

We thank you also for your support and patience at this time for the gallery and we look forward to continuing to work with you to share and communicate this exciting news.
