The residency also provides an opportunity for artists to interact with selected pieces from Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales.The St Davids Room displays paintings, prints and etchings by Pembrokeshire artists and craftsmen or those inspired by the area’s landscape.
This twentieth century painter was so moved by Pembrokeshire that he bequeathed a body of artwork to Wales and stipulated that the paintings should be seen in the place which had inspired them.
The Discovery Room has an exhibition space for 3D art works, including ceramics, jewellery, glass and sculpture.
