January 26, 2016January 26, 2016 Friends Press
A community driven organisation to support the Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Friends of the Arts Centre has secured the support of local actor turned international film star Taron Egerton and the current star of a BBC series Jacob Ifan as Patrons.  Both actors have offered their support as Patrons joining other internationally renowned creatives including artist Shani Rhys James and poet Gillian Clarke.
Taron David Egerton is an actor known for Kingsman: the Secret Service, Testament of Youth and Legend and the TV series The Smoke. Taron attended Ysgol Penglais Comprehensive school and was a member of Aberystwyth Arts Centre Youth Theatre before attending RADA. His latest film Eddie the Eagle is to be released in 2016 in which he stars with Hugh Jackman and Christopher Walken.
Jacob Ifan attended Ysgol Gyfun Gymunedol Penweddig, was a member of Aberystwyth Arts Centre Youth Theatre and attended RWCMD. He was recently seen starring in the BBC series Cuffs.
Sue Jones Davies from the Friends of the Arts centre committee said, “Both actors have been strong supporters of the Arts Centre and have frequently publicly talked about the importance of the Youth Theatre in their choice of careers. We are really proud of what both these boys have achieved already and thrilled they have agreed to be Patrons of Friends of the Arts Centre.”
Friends of the Arts Centre has over 700 members and seeks to support the arts centre with various initiatives including funding campaigns and promotional activity. Membership of the organisation is free. The organisation was created from a desire in the community of Aberystwyth to recognise the Arts Centre as a world-class institution with a huge impact on the local community and beyond.
It has already raised over £5,000 of funding, and its first project selected for funding support was Club 1-2-3 which was formed 15 years ago as an opportunity for parents and carers of babies and toddlers to meet weekly and take part in a creative sessions. The creative sessions, led by an experienced dancer involving both parents/carers and babies/toddlers in movement, music and verbal activities through play and are bilingual. In addition Friends of the Arts Centre is supporting the Rock Project for disadvantaged youth by supporting the music instructor for a year and providing the arts centre with a new keyboard.
The next project it will be supporting will be the building of the new innovative, purpose designed and built Eye-box to house exhibitions in the Arts Centre foyer.
