Welcome to the West Wales School of the Arts. 

 

We are a small and friendly institution with a real ‘Art School’ atmosphere so often lacking in current higher education and with a long tradition which can be traced back to the Dyfed College of Art and to the first Art School in Carmarthen which was founded in 1854.

We believe in teaching and supporting our students, allowing them to make the most of their creativity and the opportunities available to them in college and their chosen careers.

Ours is a balanced approach of vocational teaching, relevant theory and ‘live’ experience of participating in exciting national events, competitions and exhibitions.
