We are delighted to announce the launch of: The Front Room – A Pop Up Art Installation inspired by a sense of what ‘Home’ means.

This is a Genesis Kickstart Fund project, supported by the Genesis Foundation.

Valleys Kids’ Artist in Residence, Anne Culverhouse-Evans is spearheading this Project. The Front Room is intended to be a community catalyst for recalling forgotten memories, sharing stories and making connections.  The design of the room will evoke childhood memories, inviting people to come inside, share their stories, and create their own piece of art.
