Rite of passage aims to commission a 3 year programme of public art including a landmark permanent artwork of the highest possible quality by an artist with an international reputation.

With support from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation the Association is working with independent consultants from SAFLE ( an independent public art
consultancy whose mission is to promote, advocate, develop and implement art in the urban and rural public realm, throughout Wales and internationally) to develop the project and engage the community in the process of commissioning a programme of public artworks.

A second consultant, Gill Hedley, the former head of the Contemporary Arts Society was funded to raise the profile of the project in the Arts world, identify a shortlist of possible Artists and explore funding possibilities.

This work has been collated as part of the three year programme which is available to download here.
