For those of you who are art fans in North Wales you will already probably be familiar with the incredible Helfa Gelf.
The Helfa Gelf or Art Trail is a celebration of the wonderful local artists and craft workers to be found right here in North Wales. The region has long been an attraction to great artists from all around and our stunning landscape and fascinating history has enabled artist talent to flourish here.
More and more recently North Wales has been encouraging, taking note of and celebrating its local artists and the region has become a centre for the arts with many events to highlight this. The Art Trail is unique because it allows anyone who is interested to find out where all the artists in North Wales live and you can even enter their galleries and personal workshops throughout the month of September.
This wonderful events is hosted every September in North Wales and those who follow the trail can even watch artists in action as they create their work.
September is far behind us now but the town of Denbigh is not done celebrating our wonderful local artists. We thought now would be the perfect time of year to look back on some of the best art of the Helfa Gelf.
A special exhibit is being held in Denbigh Library Gallery at Hall Square from the 15th of November until the 10th of January 2015 where you can enjoy a selection of artwork from the 2014 Helfa Gelf.
Opening times for the exhibition during this period are:
Monday – Wednesday 9:30am-7pm, Thursday 1pm-5pm, Friday 9:30am-5pm and Saturday 9:30am-12:30pm.
If you love art and want to get to know more about local artists in Denbigh and throughout North Wales this is a great place to start. Denbigh is proud to be home to several of the key participants in the Art Trail.
