Thank you Bridgend Arts for acknowledging Nick, Bridgend Town Council's Front of House.

We know that those of you who have met Nick on visits to Carnegie House and the Town Hall will agree wholeheartedly with their comments.

Thank you Nick, we definitely couldn't do all we do without you!

It takes a lot of people behind the scenes to keep the wheels turning, and Bridgend Does Art simply couldn’t have happened without our brilliant team of volunteers who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm throughout the exhibition, a massive thanks to them 💖

We want to give a particularly big shout-out to Nick, front of house at Carnegie House.
Nick was there for us every day, leading up to the exhibition, washing glasses on the opening, opening the doors, keeping everything running and supporting us with whatever we needed.

To Nick and every single person who volunteered, helped, carried, welcomed, organised, tidied, made tea, dropped off bakestones and kept us going…

THANK YOU.

You were a huge part of making Bridgend Does Art happen.
