We have now been operating for over two years now, with one of our main goals being to highlight Welsh art & design to an national and international audience. Over the last few months we have been busy working on new opportunities for NakedWales to work on this goal further and go beyond the website and events that we have provided previously.
To this end we want your help, and your guidance. As members of the art & design world we want to hear from you as to what you would like NakedWales to do for you. While we all know a ferrari for everyone would be great, we are really wanting to know if there is anything that as a community we maybe able to bring people. That could fundamentally help you in your practice as designers and artists.
please comment below.

CDF launch at the Senedd
Last night saw the launch of Cardiff Design Festival 2008. We had a great time looking around at all of the work produced by the design agencies, and the free wine went down very well. So what did everyone else think? And don't forget on the Tuesday 14th October we will be having a 'Get Together' at the Waterguard in the Bay. Hope to see you all there.

National Museum Cardiff has opened four new galleries. The galleries will vary from a Welsh Artists in the 18th Century through to a more general nature theme.
All of the galleries though have a focus on Welsh work and it is hoped that the new works will lead to greater appreciation for the pieces and with fresh ideas and creating new places for education being key to the development.

This years Artes Mundi prize has been won by Indian Artist NS Harsha. his work uses Indian Miniaturist painting to challenge the traditions of Indian Culture. The decision for the £40,000 prize comes from the combined work of the shortlisted artists over their last 5-8 years of work. This year was very much concentrated along the lines of human understanding and humanity as a whole.
This years competition attracted 400 nominations from around the world. The work of NS Harsha and all the other shortlisted artists will be on display in the National Museum Cardiff until 8th June.

Creative Wales Awards recognise the very best talent and potential of individual Welsh artists. Funded by the Arts Council of Wales (ACW), Creative Wales Awards of up to £25,000 are available for Welsh artists every year and for 2007/08, 16 artists have been awarded nearly £300,000. The awards guarantee artists an income for a period, enabling them to take time out to experiment, innovate, and take forward their work. It's a chance to think, to branch out, to take risks.
