Haverfordwest Riverside Gallery exhibitions showcase people and place

April 5, 2022

Following the reopening of Haverfordwest library in September 2021, the riverside gallery is hosting two exhibitions for the public, thanks to the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.

The People: photographs from the national collection exhibition focuses on the unique art of documentary photography. These images capture the beauty, humour, joy, despair and determination of human spirit. Whether they are images of normal people going about their everyday lives, or an account of an important historical event, each photograph is a snapshot in time, preserved for future generations.

The Pembrokeshire: Past and Present exhibition, details the county’s rich history, displaying iconic works by artists and writers such as Gwen and Augustus John, Waldo Williams, Claudia Williams and Graham Sutherland.

Both exhibitions will run until 23 April 2022, as part of the ongoing partnership between Pembrokeshire County Council and The National Library of Wales at Glan-yr-afon/The Riverside.
