The Commission

CCM is working in partnership with Disability Arts Cymru (DAC) to support a disabled, d/Deaf or neurodivergent artist commission exploring the corsydd sites.

We are especially interested in work that reflects on themes of:

● Heritage

● Conservation

● Access

The artist/s will be supported by both CCM and DAC.

CCM will:

● Provide site access and background information

● Connect the artist with professionals in conservation, heritage, science, and land management

DAC will:

● Support with creative networks, mentoring, and exhibition opportunities

● Work alongside the artist/s to explore access to and within the sites

We are committed to reducing barriers. Please let us know if you need support in applying or delivering the work.

The Brief

We are offering a £2,000 commission to create new visual art work that explores the significance of the Anglesey Fens, their history, and your personal experience of the sites.

The artwork will be included in the 2026-7 DAC National Touring Exhibition.

We are also keen to support a workshop or series of workshops in the local community. Additional fees will be paid for this activity.
