The Bob Guy Gallery has officially opened at Y Dolydd, Llanfyllin Workhouse, named in honor of the late Welsh wood engraver, artist, and musician. The gallery’s inauguration on St David’s Day featured the launch of 'Cydweithio – Collaborate,' an exhibition exploring the intersection of visual art and poetry, reflecting Guy’s own history of collaborative creative practice.
This dedication secures the legacy of an artist who was instrumental in establishing the local arts scene and earned an international reputation for his intricate wood engravings. By transforming a former workhouse ward into a permanent exhibition space with the help of the Community Foundation Wales, the institution aims to foster regional talent and maintain the cultural dialogue between literature and the visual arts that Guy championed during his lifetime.
