YesCymru is looking for Barry artists to take part in its independence-themed competition.

The campaign group, advocating for an independent Wales, has created the Art of Independence contest.

The subsequent exhibition, arranged by the YesCymru Penybont ar Ogwr branch, is set to take place at the Queen Street Art Gallery in Neath.

Esteemed artists Iwan Bala, Bethan Ash, and Claire Hiett are to judge the competition.

The exhibition will open on November 2 and concludes on November 30.

Judge Bethan Ash, a Neath-based artist, manages both Queen Street Gallery and Studio 40 Contemporary Art Centre.

YesCymru chairperson Phyl Griffiths expressed excitement, saying: "We are very excited in YesCymru about this competition and exhibition and we can’t wait to see the art that will be on display.

"The power of art should not be underestimated."

Christine Moore, YesCymru Penybont ar Ogwr project manager, emphasised the profound impact of artists.

She said: "Fighting for Independence is as much about artists and artworks as it is about politicians and politics."

Artists are invited to submit their creations on the Art of Independence Wales website by September 16.

Up to 80 artworks will be picked for display alongside the competition winners.
