"The project is to improve 3 key locations, the Oriel Mon, Dingle Nature Reserve and Lon Las 566 path, all around the market town of Llangefni. Oriel Mon (OM) was built in 1991 as a purpose built gallery for Anglesey’s heritage and culture and to house the Council’s collection of art works by wildlife artist Charles Tunnicliffe. The gallery attracted 83,331 visitors in 2016/17. Next year (2018) marks the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Kyffin Williams, one of Wales’ best known artists of the 20th century. There is a permanent display of his works at OM and the gallery is planning an unveiling a life-sized bronze statue of Kyffin Williams at work, which has been donated to OM. The project is split as follows:
Oriel Mon (OM) improvements include:
• Creation of external seating areas integrated with OM grounds
• Plinth and installation of the gifted Kyffin Williams statue.
• Improved landscaping
• Signage & enhancements with OM’s grounds including donation boxes & recycling facilities "
