Oriel Q gallery in Narberth is launching a new exhibition titled 'The Local' on June 6, celebrating British pub culture and the community role of pubs. The show runs until July 11 and features visual art and poetry, with a focus on local pubs in Narberth. The opening night takes place from 6-8pm, and the exhibition includes works by artist David Finch.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the cultural and social significance of pubs in British life, framing them as community hubs rather than just drinking venues. By combining visual art and poetry, the show connects contemporary artistic practice with longstanding local traditions, reinforcing Oriel Q's role as a cultural hub in Narberth for nearly 40 years.
