Description
The Museum Of Modern Art, Wales (MOMA WALES) has grown up alongside The Tabernacle, a former Wesleyan chapel which in 1986 reopened as a centre for the performing arts. MOMA WALES has six beautiful exhibition spaces which house, throughout the year, MODERN WELSH ART (Wales’ top artists), The Tabernacle Collection and The Brotherhood of Ruralists. Individual artists are spotlighted in a series of temporary exhibitions. In July workshops are given for adults and children, while in August expert judges and then the public choose the winners of the Tabernacle Art Competition. Many works of art in MOMA WALES are for sale.
The adjacent auditorium has perfect acoustics and pitch-pine pews to seat 400 people. It is ideal for chamber and choral music, drama, lectures and conferences. Translation booths, recording facilities and a cinema screen have been installed; the oak-beamed Foyer has a bar; and extensive access for disabled people is made possible by a lift, and a ramped approach.
The Machynlleth Festival takes place in the auditorium in late August every year. During the week eminent performers take part in events ranging from recitals for children to jazz. Support of all kinds is given by the Friends of The Tabernacle.
For the rest of the year the centre can be hired for performances, rehearsals and gatherings. A number of classes are held each week in the Green Room, which is also equiped as a Language Laboratory. Ty Llyfnant is equipped with music teaching rooms and an artists’ studio.
Midday, Market Day is a series of Wednesday lunchtime talks and performances.
