Peak Cymru

Peak is an independent arts organisation based in rural South Powys, providing opportunities to take part in a wide range of high quality arts activities at our base in Crickhowell and elsewhere in Wales and the Welsh borders. Based in rural South Powys, Peak – a charitable organisation creates opportunities for people of all ages to take part in high quality arts activities led by creative professionals both at their venue in Crickhowell and elsewhere in Wales. Over a period of more than 20 years, Peak (previously Arts Alive Wales) has earned a reputation for the quality of its work in the visual and applied arts. This remains the foundation of a wide-ranging programme of activities, both in Crickhowell venue and in the community, that now regularly includes the performing and literary arts.
