The award winning Aberystwyth Arts Centre is the largest and busiest arts centre in Wales, with a wide-ranging programme of events and activities across all art forms. It is recognised as a national centre for arts development. We welcome over 500,000 visitors a year through our doors, including over 72,000 attendances to our unique community arts and education programme.
The Arts Centre is a department of the University of Wales Aberystwyth, and sits at the heart of the university's campus, with stunning views over the town of Aberystwyth and along the coastline of Cardigan Bay.
In 2000 the Arts Centre completed a major £4.3 million redevelopment project which was largely funded by the National Lottery. We now have facilities unrivalled throughout much of the UK - and are recognised as a 'national flagship for the arts'.

Winter Garden - The Exploration of the Micropop Imagination in Contemporary Japanese Art
A record - made not of vinyl but ice - plays Moon River; a film shows a sizzling lit fuse as it burns on and on but never quite reaching its target; paintings of Manga-inspired creatures frolic and panic in their own parallel universe.
This is Winter Garden, an exhibition curated by Midori Matsui and including works by 14 artists from Japan.
The first venue to have this Japanese exhibition in the UK!

Artist's Residency Open Studio Twilight Visit
A twilight visit to Artists’ Studios! Celebrate the end of Rabab Ghazoul and Peter Williams three month residencies at Aberystwyth Arts Centre with an Evening Open Studio.
Ghazoul was born in Iraq and lives in Wales. Experiencing two cultures informs her approach as a social observer and commentator. Her practice combines text, film, site specific and altered-objects creating installations that question the values and hierarchies of society.
Williams is an artist printmaker based at the Printmarket Workshop, Cardiff. Keen to use his residency as an opportunity to experiment, his new works explore the relationship between the individual and the home.
