For anyone interested in the arts in Wales this website has some great content already and continues to develop as an exciting and interesting resource - http://www.culturecolony.com

Culture Colony - Y Wladfa Newydd is a new cultural experience celebrating the diversity ofexpression and a space for sharing and developing creative ideas. It has been designed as both a professional tool for individuals and businesses involved in the creative industries and as an alternative to television for anyone to access cultural content. As an independent voice and its membership can respond immediately to the cultural issues and concerns of the day.

Earlier this year Culture Colony began a project called New Frontiers -

The project will build on the core ideals of Culture Colony, namely to explore the potential offered by new communications technologies and to create high quality content to share via the new communications technologies.

The research, while providing a basis for exploration by the creative industries will also create a structure for the New Frontiers training programme.

Based on current and evolving practice, with regard to documentary film making in the broadcast industry and the emerging arena of the internet, combined with ideas generated through the research placement, the training programme will be designed to give the trainees a broad practical film making experience.

A strand of the New Frontiers research phase led to a series of videos and recordings with artists working in Wales. The training phase is now well underway and includes filmed talks by artists Ivan Morison and Steve Messam , as well work for the groundbreaking blinc digital arts festival 2012 , held in Conwy in October.
