Peak Cymru

Peak is an arts organisation based in the Welsh Black Mountains. We collaborate with artists, young people and their communities, responding the unique qualities of our Welsh rural environment, landscape culture and language. Together we shape a creative programme focused on visual arts, digital media and creative writing that supports ‘the gentle work of the future’, addressing social, racial and environmental justice in the context of South Wales. Our region encompasses the protected landscape of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Vale of Usk and Valleys’ communities. Partnerships with community organisations, environmental and heritage organisations, thinkers, activists, historians and ecologists underpin and enrich our work. We work on Mountains, along waterways, in forests and meadows but we also have two bases: The Old School, Crickhowell comprising dedicated art studio, kitchen and offices, and Platfform 2, project spaces at Abergavenny Railway Station which launched in Summer 2021
