Summary
The 56 Group Wales was founded in 1956 by a number of professional artists who realised that there were very few opportunities to exhibit contemporary art in Wales at that time.
Since then the Group has consistently shown contemporary work throughout Wales, in the British Isles and Ireland, in Europe and North America. Its membership, which is restricted to 22 artists, has included many nationally and internationally recognised artists which has enabled the Group to make a major contribution to the establishment of contemporary art in Wales and to its recognition abroad.
The Group's home coming exhibition at Howard Gardens is open to the public from 16 February to 12 March.
