Criw Celf: Developing Talent in the Visual and Applied Arts for young people of school age.
Criw Celf provides children and young people with an opportunity to develop their artistic skills, working outside of a school setting alongside professional artists in a variety of different gallery and site-specific settings. In the same way that an orchestra or choir provides an opportunity for young musicians to join together to perform, Criw Celf offers an opportunity for aspiring young visual artists and designers to spend time with their peers and with professionals working in the sector to develop their talent.

Criw Celf - Mission Gallery
Our Criw Celf 2021 Exhibition was curated by Lisa Evans and supported by Young Curator Evelyn Wolstenholme. The exhibition celebrates the hard work of our Criw Celf students and artists, and has been drawn together in this end of year showcase. The video below includes an interview with Lisa and Evelyn regarding their experience of curating Criw Celf 2021.
"The Criw Celf curatorial experience was an opportunity to be creative with the work and the space. There was such variety and depth to the works created by young artists. We felt it was important to give them the professional platform to showcase their efforts and talents. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and working with Eve which allowed for a rich collaboration.”- Lisa Evans, Curator
