Helfa gelf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helfa Gelf (English: Arts Trail) is the Welsh-language name for the largest open studio event in north Wales, with more than 300 artists.[1][2] The annual art event has been held every September since 2006, now extending over five counties of North Wales. The Art Trail combines over 100 artists[3] Open Studios and Artists Open Houses with events located all kinds of venues: studios, galleries, village halls and even garden sheds.

Although it is an independent body, it seeks much external sponsorship, and is organised in co-operation with many bodies including county councils, the Arts Council of Wales, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Anglesey Arts Forum, Royal Cambrian Academy, Oriel Plas Glyn Y Weddw, Bodelwyddan Castle, Gwynedd Economic Partnership, Menter Môn and Cadwyn Clwyd.
