third Floor Gallery exhibits contemporary photography by internationally renowned artists. in a typical year you can expect ten different exhibitions, with work that ranges from current media events and hard hitting documentary work, to the great solo exhibitions by well established art photographers.The gallery’s programme is exciting and accessible, shunning the more academical approach followed by many larger organisations. all of their exhibitions are free, and the gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday, 12-6pm.

• Group visits: if the gallery is contacted in advance, they can provide a guided tour of the current exhibition by one of the trustees or curators. Groups that have visited the gallery have ranged from as few as half a dozen to forty. Previously, visits have been organised by local schools, Cardiff youth Services, and by photography courses at college and university level. Please enquire in advance if the displayed work is suitable for your age group.

• Stand Up Slideshows: Once a month, the gallery organises an open event to which beginners, enthusiasts and professionals can bring their photographs and discuss them. By turns each participant presents their latest photographs using a digital projector, be it a series that they have finished or current work in progress. This format works best when the photographs follow a topic, and can lead to very heated debates. it is popular with university and college students.

• Talks: Third floor Gallery also organises talks and symposia that are open to any visitors. Previously they have had Magnum photographer david Hurn talking about how he started his career in the late 1950s and current projects, dutch documentary photographer rob Hornstra discussing his work in russia and how to self publish photobooks, Kevin Meredith describing the joy of photographing with toy cameras and how they led to his publishing career, and many many more. The best way to keep updated on the gallery’s talks is to request to be added to their mailing list or following the gallery page on facebook.


• The gallery is open Wednesday - Sunday

ty cerdd’s education department offers an original range of classroom music resources suitable for teachers and pupils with and without musical experience.Based on musical works written for Ty Cerdd by Welsh composers, children journey through the magical musical worlds of dragons, dinosaurs, pirates, castles, mystical lost islands and the bones of our ancient ancestors.

during their musical explorations, children discover the techniques composers use to describe events, emotions, landscapes and characters through music. They then write their own music and combine this with other art forms such as dance, visual art, literature and drama. The result is an original artistic work that is as individual to its creators as it is inspirational to the audience.

Packed with creative fun and musical nourishment for their imaginations, these resources are available ready to use from Ty Cerdd Education. Each project is presented in six lessons and can be easily adapted to include other subjects.

Ty Cerdd Education works in partnership with Making Music UK, PrS foundation for Music, BBC radio 3, BBC Performing arts foundation, Wales Millennium Centre, royal Welsh College of Music and drama and Sound and Music to deliver Welsh music resources across the UK.
