Mission Gallery’s Education Programme is expanding and will provide a wide range of activities for, school groups (from Primary School to Sixth Form), teachers, students in further and higher education, Community groups and individuals, and those involved in other levels or types of learning.

This programme offers opportunities to explore and learn about contemporary visual art and craft through activities inspired by the exhibitions and events. Through a wide range of workshops, projects and events for families and school children, young people and adults, often involving exhibiting artists, or experts who can offer further insight into the work on show, Mission Gallery seeks to stimulating public interest in and understanding of contemporary visual art and craft.

Artist in Residence
August 2005– April 2006

Mission Gallery's Artist in Residence programme offers artists the opportunity to develop their practice and create new work in a new environment.
Mission Gallery is pleased to announce that the gallery’s Artist in Residence is Owen Griffiths. The residency will give Owen space and time to focus on a particular line of enquiry and develop work.
Owen studied Foundation in Art at Swansea Institute of Higher Education and has recently completed a BA Hons in Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University. Owens’ work is centred on the role he can play in contemporary society as a catalyst or instigator; he is also interested in sustainability and environmental issues, working mainly with drawing and performance or live art, such as actions, sound pieces.
This is a completely new and exciting venture for the gallery and one we hope to continue into the future.
