Closing date: 28/04/25


In 2025 we at Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Gallery are celebrating our 200th Birthday and want to launch Cyfarthfa: Juxtaposed 2025 Art Prize to mark this occasion.


We have been collecting and exhibiting contemporary art since the museum opened in 1910 and have some of Wales’ most prestigious artists within our collection.


The aim of Cyfarthfa: Juxtaposed Art Prize 2025 is to showcase contemporary Welsh art in the heart of the South Wales Valleys and to accession at least 1 new artwork for our collection.


Artist Brief:

Contemporary art reflects, responds and discusses the world we live in. For this exhibition and prize, we are asking you to look at our existing collection, find a theme, context, identity, event, and to juxtapose your response to instigate a conversation with your chosen artwork. You can view our online collection with over 350 items via Art UK.


You are also welcome to view our permanent collection in the museum in person. All entries will be exhibited* and hung for our public exhibition launching on 23rd May 2025.


*Entries subject to our terms and conditions.

A maximum of 1 work may be submitted per applicant.


Cyfarthfa:

Juxtaposed 2025 Art Prize has been made possible thanks to support from the Cyfarthfa Foundation which is the charitable organisation championing the long-term development of Cyfarthfa Castle and Park at Merthyr Tydfil.
