Scene & Word is a not-for-profit company with charitable aims established in 2006 by family and friends of Jonah Jones (1919–2004) to coordinate the Cofio Jonah Jones project, celebrating and recording his life and career and building upon his values as an artist and educator.
With these values in mind, we aim to support selected young artists/makers by awarding prize funding or workshop event fees through our Gwobr Jonah Jones prize scheme. We also seek to protect public artwork by Jonah Jones and increase awareness of the artist by curating an online gallery of his work.
Follow Scene & Word on our website, Facebook and Instagram. You can also write to us via the Contact link at the foot of the screen.
As we redevelop this website, what you see here is the very latest work-in-progress version. The Scene & Word Store is 100% functional and the Oriel Jonah Jones is open again, although work on it isn’t yet completed. New stories are again appearing on our news channel, but it will take us time to work through all the older articles and restore any missing stories, images or videos, and to fix any broken English/Welsh links.
