Partners
Swansea City Opera
Dragon Arts and Learning have worked in partnership
with Swansea City Opera, the City of Swansea's flag-ship touring opera
company, since February 2005. One of the core principles of the partnership
is making Opera an accessible art form for people of all backgrounds.
In 2006, Dragon Arts and SCO were proud to perform “From Cars to
Mars”, Wales’s first Street Opera and the first example of
professional Opera practitioners and singers performing with homeless
and socially excluded people to perform an original piece of work in Wales.

The Gateway Project
The Gateway Project part of the Welsh Historic Gardens
Trust. It enables people who would not otherwise have the opportunity
to visit the Historic Gardens of Wales. We have benefited with trips to many historical gardens in Wales and as a result of the
high standard of photography taken on these trips we
won a trip to the value of £500 to a National Trust Garden
of our choice.
