Confluence, in partnership with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, is inviting applications from artists working with moving image to undertake a commission to create a socially-engaged, site-specific or site-responsive artwork that draws on and reflects upon the interrelationships between Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire’s historic county town and market centre, and the rural and coastal hinterland it serves.

Confluence is a creative collaboration between PLANED, spacetocreate, iDeA Architects, Transition Haverfordwest and Pembrokeshire County Council which has been awarded funding from Ideas:People:Places, an Arts Council of Wales strategic arts and regeneration initiative. Confluence is devising and testing a new and imaginative model of town centre renewal, engaging the community to inspire and shape the process of urban planning, design and regeneration.

PCNPA is the statutory body responsible for conserving Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park boasts some of the most spectacular scenery and diverse wildlife in Britain, including internationally important nature reserves, geology and archaeology. The National Park Authority’s duties include conserving and enhancing the natural features of this landscape, as well as the culture and heritage of the Park.

The commission’s title Pembrokeshire Drover refers to the bygone practice of herding livestock to market and the historic routes through Pembrokeshire along which cattle and livestock were taken to Haverfordwest, and then onwards to the English grazing grounds and markets.

Taking the commission’s title as a metaphor, the artist will immerse themselves within place and work collaboratively with people to produce an artwork which responds to the relationships and associations, historical and/or contemporary, between Haverfordwest and its rural and coastal hinterland.

An inclusive fee of £12,000 is offered for the commission.

Porthmon Sir Benfro

Mae Confluence, mewn partneriaeth ag Awdurdod Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro, yn gwahodd ceisiadau gan artistiaid sy’n gweithio yn y maes delweddau symudol i fynd i’r afael â chomisiwn i greu celfwaith sy’n ymgysylltu â’r cyhoedd, safle penodol neu ymatebol sy’n tynnu sylw at ac yn adlewyrchu ar y gydberthynas rhwng Hwlffordd, tref sirol hanesyddol a chanolbwynt marchnad Sir Benfro, a’r gefnwlad wledig ac arfordirol mae’n ei wasanaethu.

Gwaith creadigol ar y cyd yw Confluence rhwng PLANED, spacetocreate, iDeA Architects, Cyngor Sir Penfro a Thrawsnewid Hwlffordd. Mae Confluence wedi derbyn cymorth ariannol gan Ideas:People:Places, celfyddydau strategol Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru a menter adfywio. Mae Confluence yn dyfeisio ac yn arbrofi â modelau dychmygol newydd o adnewyddu canol y dref, ymgysylltu â’r gymuned i ysbrydoli a llunio’r broses o gynllunio, dylunio ac adfywio dinesig.

Corff statudol yw PCNPA yn gyfrifol am gadwraeth Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro. Mae Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro yn cynnwys rhai o’r golygfeydd mwyaf trawiadol a’r amrywiaeth o fywyd gwyllt ym Mhrydain, yn cynnwys gwarchodfeydd natur o bwysigrwydd rhyngwladol, daeareg ac archaeoleg. Mae dyletswyddau Awdurdod y Parc Cenedlaethol yn cynnwys cadw ac ehangu nodweddion naturiol y dirwedd hon, yn ogystal â diwylliant a threftadaeth y Parc.

Mae teitl y comisiwn Porthmon Sir Benfro yn cyfeirio at arferiad a fu o yrru anifeiliaid i’r farchnad ac ar hyd y llwybrau hanesyddol drwy Sir Benfro a gyrrwyd y gwartheg a’r da byw hyn i Hwlffordd, ac yna ymlaen i diroedd pori a marchnadoedd Lloegr.

Gan ystyried teitl y comisiwn fel trosiad, bydd yr artist yn ymgolli ei hunan o fewn lleoliad ac yn gweithio ar y cyd gyda phobl i gynhyrchu celfwaith sy’n ymateb i’r perthnasau a’r cysylltiadau, hanesyddol a/neu gyfoes, rhwng Hwlffordd a’i gefnwlad gweledig ac arfordirol.
Cynigir ffi gynhwysol o £12,000 am y comisiwn
