Tŷ Pawb’s gallery has been turned into a ‘lush green escape’ for a new exhibition called Gardd Gorwelion / Horizon Garden.
The exhibition features works by a number of Welsh and UK based artists, all around the theme of emphasising the wellbeing benefits of nature.
The artists include Morag Colquhoun, Owen Griffiths, Jackie Kearsley, Sumuyya Khader, Jonathan LeVay, Ann McCay, Aidan Myers and Alessandra Saviotti.
There are also two brand new artworks commissioned by Tŷ Pawb, as well as some impressive works loaned from Amgueddfa Cymru (National Museum Wales), by Graham Sutherland, Maurice de Vlaminck & Dr Harold Drinkwater.

One of the main themes of the exhibition is to explore community and alternative growing in response to the societal urgencies that are climate change, social isolation, loneliness and food poverty.
The exhibition profiles of a number of community growing/social art projects from around the UK that are great examples of this theme in action - including a few from right here in Wrexham!
Coedpoeth Community Garden, Erlas Walled Garden and Incredible Edible are featured, as well as Tŷ Pawb’s Maes Parcio Creadigol/Creative Car Park – the community garden project being developed on our Tŷ Pawb’s multi-storey car park roof.
Gardd Gorwelion/Horizon Garden will be open until 8 April 2023.
Gallery opening times: 10am-4pm, Monday-Saturday.
