| About Us
g39 is a leading artist led organisation. It runs an exhibition space, fosters a community of artists and offers resources. We are now in a factory building offering more space and better access. Here you can see a wide-ranging programme from major exhibitions and formal symposia to experimental projects and intimate events.
G39 also collaborates internationally to show Welsh artists abroad, and to bring foreign artists to Wales. This is where you will discover emerging artists before anyone else.

| It Was Never Going To Be Straightforward We are very pleased to announce the launch of g39’s new publication It Was Never Going To Be Straightforward, a compendium of the first 13 years of the g39 project. The book charts a rambling route through g39’s history from the first exhibition that opened on 3 July 1998 to the last that closed on 2 July 2011. It marks the years that the project was based in Wyndham Arcade in Cardiff city centre. It Was Never Going To Be Straightforward contains some of the projects we made happen in those thirteen years, alongside new articles and artist commissions. Drawing its inspiration from the Art and Society series published in the 1970s by The Welsh Arts Council, the book gives an insight into some of the things that drive g39 – our ethos, our influences and our ambitions. “It was never going to be straightforward, and it probably never will be.” |
| Cardiff Contemporary festival of visual art, 3 October - 9 November 2014 Cardiff Contemporary is a biennial festival celebrating and promoting the visual arts. This Cardiff Council initiative has been developed in partnership with the city?s visual art, design and architecture communities. The festival offers a rich and diverse programme of exhibitions, events and activity in every corner of the city. Cardiff has a strong reputation for delivering world-class events and festivals, and Cardiff Contemporary is no exception. This year sees the third and most extensive festival, with twenty-three specially commissioned artist projects and three residencies alongside gallery exhibitions and four festivals. The festival theme is Reveal/Conceal. From the South Wales Echo to Central Station, Cardiff Contemporary makes use of the entire city as a space to experience art. Artists have re-imagined the city through art and unveiled places in ways that are innovative, vibrant, beguiling and challenging. Cardiff Contemporary aims to manufacture as many encounters as possible between visitors and festival content across the city. This will make a long-term impact on cultural perceptions of Cardiff by engaging people in places where they visit, work and live. The overall vision is to encourage public engagement with the visual arts, and to establish Cardiff as an innovative, progressive world city for contemporary arts and design. The Council remains committed to supporting the arts in recognition of their importance in promoting economic growth. Cardiff Contemporary is integral to the city's corporate plan for visual arts and its vision for the economic profile and regeneration of the city. It will bring together local and national stakeholders including the artistic community and cultural, educational, commercial and governmental sectors. Aspirations for Cardiff Contemporary see it developing into a major, respected biennial event creating a lasting legacy. It is distinctively Welsh, but also outward looking - the festival will reflect a modern, aspirational Wales. |
