“David Wilson is an experienced arts professional, with a rich and varied career, and I am delighted that he will be bringing all that expertise to the role of Director of Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
“The Arts Centre is a focal point for the local community here in Aberystwyth, and also pivotal to the artistic life of mid and west Wales. David’s considerable understanding of the arts sector and his commitment to supporting artists and artistic exploration, will be greatly beneficial as the Centre further enhances its excellent reputation for entertaining audiences and giving a stage to many varied performers and artists from Wales and beyond.”
David Wilson, an alumnus of Aberystwyth University, said:
“I am thrilled to be returning to Aberystwyth as Director of Aberystwyth Arts Centre. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student in the town, and relished the life and experience of living in such an amazing part of Wales with so much to offer. It is a delight to be coming back.
“I cannot wait to join the team and contribute to the University’s and the Arts Centre’s ongoing success. I have long admired the programme and impact of the Centre, with such a breadth of art forms and a variety of scales and spaces, I am looking forward to meeting audiences and delivering more for students, staff and Ceredigion.”
