Piazza and La Scala Piazza a La Scala

2003 saw the completion of La Scala, by sculptor Mark Pimlott - one of the largest public arts commissioned in Wales. Five years in planning and construction, La Scala takes the form of a giant set of cantilevered steps, and is part of the re-development of the piazza in front of the Arts Centre. Formerly opened by Arts Minster Alan Pugh, La Scala and the Arts Centre Redevelopment were shortlisted for the Dewi Prys Thomas prize for architecture in Wales.

Funding for the project came from the estate of Mollie Winterburne and Nora Gibbs, artists who had a long and happy association with the Arts Centre.

Yn 2003 cwblhawyd La Scala gan y cerflunydd Mark Pimlott - un o'r gweithiau celf cyhoeddus mwyaf ei faint i gael ei gomisiynu yng Nghymru. Bu'r prosiect yn cymryd pum mlynedd i'w gynllunio a'i adeiladu. Mae ar ffurf set anferth o stepiau cantilifrog ac mae'n rhan o ail-ddatblygiad y piazza o flaen Canolfan y Celfyddydau. Agorwyd La Scala a'r ail-ddatblygiad yn ffurfiol gan Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Alan Pugh a rhoddwyd y prosiect ar y rhestr fer ar gyfer gwobr Dewi Prys Thomas am bensaerniaeth yng Nghymru.

Daeth y cyllid ar gyfer y prosiect o ystad Mollie Winterburne a Nora Gibbs, dwy artist a fwynhaodd gysylltiad hir a llewyrchus gyda'r Ganolfan.
