Artis Community opening YMa in Pontypridd

Artis Community Cymuned, Pontypridd YMCA, Arts Council of Wales and Rhondda Cynon Taf are delighted to announce that YMa, the new home of Artis Community Cymuned and tenants is opening on Monday June 5.

The much anticipated redevelopment has been completed!

They say that they are thrilled to invite you to the YMa on the 5th of June 2023, at 11.00 AM, to explore the brand new space, and to celebrate the opening and can’t wait to welcome the local community in to make the most of their high-speed WiFi, Lolfa, and fantastic creative spaces & meeting rooms (which are available for hire!).

Listen to Jen Angharad, the CEO of Artis Community Cymuned and Heidi Wilson, Chair of Artis Community Cymuned speak with Gavin here:-

Artis Community have told GTFM that despite their excitement that the building can now be brought to life, they have been informed that an issue with the main lift will not be fixed in time for opening. If this means that you are unable to access the building at the present time, please reach out to them, and they will keep you updated on when the lift will be up and running and provide you with a tour of the building. There are still accessible spaces such as the beautiful Moondance Studio and the Lolfa area to be enjoyed.

The building contractors are working to rectify this issue as soon as possible.

Artis Community would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the community of Pontypridd for your patience and understanding during the construction of YMa. Your unwavering support and enthusiasm has been invaluable throughout this journey. Artis Community are thrilled to finally invite you into the building and share with you the incredible things happening within its walls. YMa is set to make a significant difference to the town and the community as a whole by facilitating a number of key community projects close to the hearts of peope in Pontypridd. Artis Community are so excited for you to discover the new experiences, events, and opportunities that await you and to contribute your own ideas for the future of YMa.

Artis Community can’t wait to embark on this journey of creativity, community and growth together. Thank you for joining us on this promising adventure!

Artis Community would like to thank the Arts Council of Wales, Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, Welsh Government, Moondance Foundation and Garfield Weston Foundation for investing in this ambitious redevelopment and National Lottery Community Fund for kickstarting their programme of activities.
