Neath Port Talbot is Wales’s creative furnace.
We might not export much coal and steel these days, but we export plenty of creative talent to the world. Rob Brydon, Katherine Jenkins, Michael Sheen, Anthony Hopkins – all ours. The late great Richard Burton? Born in Pontrhydyfen, son of a coal miner.
Our various arts venues are a focal point for showcasing both home-grown and international talent across all the art forms including theatre, cinema, music, comedy, dance and the visual arts.
Our latest ‘art installation’ created quite a stir when it arrived in December 2018, probably because no one had actually commissioned it. Days before Christmas, a Taibach household woke up to find that their humble garage had been transformed overnight with a mural by the mysterious, mischievous street-artist Banksy. ‘Season’s Greetings’ has since been bought by a private collector.
