Taliesin Arts Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Owned and managed by the University of Wales, Swansea, Taliesin Arts Centre is at the heart of the campus. Open throughout the year, this lively venue hosts a broad programme of events including cinema screenings, an average of ten visiting exhibitions per year, and a great variety of live performances, from dance and drama to jazz and world music.
The emphasis here at Taliesin is on quality and innovation - providing a vital service to both students and the people of Swansea and acting as a regional centre of excellence. Performers in recent years have included Jamie Cullum, Clare Teal, Billy Cobham and Paco Pena.
Taliesin’s Oriel Ceri Richards Gallery not only hosts regular touring exhibitions, but also stocks an excellent range of greetings cards as well as jewellery, ceramics and other craft items.
Taliesin has a very popular café bar, a vibrant and lively place to meet for lunch, tapas or drinks.
Taliesin Arts Centre also houses the Egypt Centre. The two-storey gallery contains an important collection of antiquities from Ancient Egypt.[1]
