CBAT The Arts & Regeneration Agency has merged with Cywaith Cymru/Artworks Wales to form

Public Art Wales/Celf Gyhoeddes Cymru

The formation of Public Art Wales, the largest public art organisation in the UK, means that Wales will be a leading force in the development of public art practice both in the UK and internationally by procuring a primary role for artists in regeneration schemes. 

Public Art Wales will be taken forward by Executive Director Wiard Sterk (formerly Director of CBAT), alongside the Aberystwyth based architect Harry James as Chair, as well as the highly skilled and dedicated staff who have transferred into the new organisation from Cywaith Cymru and CBAT.

Public Art Wales is currently operating from two offices, namely those formerly used by CBAT and Cywaith Cymru but is due to move to a single office on 16 August 2007 at:

Unit 4
Sovereign Quay
Havannah Street
Cardiff Bay
CARDIFF
CF10 5SW

Our new telephone number is 0845 2413684

However, please note that our current contact details of both organisations will remain active for sometime after our move to Sovereign Quay. Email addresses for staff from either organisation will not be changed and we will endeavour to inform you of any changes that are made in due course. In the meantime, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your consideration and support.
