Oriel Myrddin, a contemporary visual arts and craft gallery in Carmarthen, Wales, will reopen on 22 November 2025 after a major redevelopment. The relaunch features the exhibition "GWRACH | WITCH Clive Hicks-Jenkins: A Fairy Tale Retold," an immersive show blending Welsh folklore with the artist's handcrafted retelling of Hansel & Gretel. The redevelopment includes a new public cafe and expanded space, and the gallery is now operating as an independent charitable incorporated organization (CIO) with support from Carmarthenshire County Council and the Arts Council of Wales.
This reopening marks a significant milestone for contemporary art in Southwest Wales, transforming a much-loved former School of Art into a modern, accessible platform for artists and communities. The gallery's new independent status and increased infrastructure will enable ambitious exhibitions, support for Welsh makers, and educational programs, reinforcing the region's cultural offering and creative exchange.
