We're partnering with Cyngor Gwynedd’s Community Arts to recruit two artists for The Wellbeing Studio.

The writer and dancer will receive training from art, health and well-being experts ahead of providing sessions for young adults aged 18-30.

They will undertake a period of training at Nyth, the home of Frân Wen in Bangor, on the following dates:

• Tuesday, 14 July 2026
• Wednesday, 15 July 2026
• Thursday, 16 July 2026
• Friday, 17 July 2026

Following this, the artists will be providing drop-in sessions and intensive sessions for young adults, using the arts to address anxiety, lack of confidence, difficulty socialising, and loneliness.

The sessions will be held between October 2026 and June 2027 in accordance with the needs of the project. In addition, Community sessions will be programmed for August/ September 2026.
