A UNIQUE art exhibition in Cardigan this April is inviting visitors to do more than just look at paintings, they can hunt for free artwork hidden across the town.
Running from April 19 to 25 at The Corn Exchange, Guildhall, Aberteifi, “Lock Up Your Grandads — The Girls Are Coming to Cardigan” by artist Sue Dewhurst is a celebration of the bold, funny and often overlooked women of everyday life.
Each day during the exhibition, a piece of original artwork will be hidden somewhere in Cardigan for the public to find and keep, turning the town into a playful art trail.
Inside the exhibition, visitors can:
- Step into a dress-up corner and become their own “Owd Lass”
- Enjoy retro sweets inspired by childhood memories
- Share stories of the unforgettable women in their lives
Sue’s work centres around her much-loved “Owd Lasses”, vivid, character-led paintings inspired by working-class women whose stories are rarely told.
She said: “These women are everywhere — funny, sharp, resilient. This is about celebrating them and making art feel welcoming, not intimidating.”
The exhibition will also feature guest makers including Dogem Glass, alongside Sue’s rural and coastal-inspired paintings.
Entry is free, with visitors encouraged to explore the town, join in, and maybe even take home a piece of art.
