Background

BACKGROUND:

Our team has many years of experience in planning and leading creative projects, as well as proven artistic skills in both 2D and 3D media and music. We aim to respond to each opportunity in an unique and appropriate way, collaborating and developing projects with our partners.

Our experience includes developing and delivering courses and experiences through the medium of Welsh and English to both adults and children. We have also planned and delivered numerous activities and public events, as well as managing a variety of creative and heritage focussed projects.

Deilen's staff and volunteers bring together a wealth of experience in both museums, galleries, schools, communities and the outdoor environment. Areas of formal qualification include Education, Art, Photography, Communications, Marketing, Team Leadership and Environmental Studies. We also collaborate with local experts on a project by project basis, enabling us to draw on a wide range of creative and heritage skills and knowledge to further enrich our projects.

Whenever possible, we deliver free projects to the public that have been externally funded via grants and other community benefitting revenue sources. To date, our projects have been funded through backing from Welsh Government, Gwynedd Council, Welsh Arts Council and The Museums Federation of Wales. Any profits are re-invested for the benefit of future projects.

Deilen has successfully collaborated with galleries, museums, artists, musicians, local councils, Welsh Government, Unboxed and The National Library of Wales since 2021. We are fully insured and our public practitioners are DBS compliant. Contact us ; Policies
