Newtown Oriel Davies Gallery refurb plans approved
Plans to refurbish and alter Newtown's art gallery have been given the green light. The project at Oriel Davies includes a new spotlight gallery and library, refurbished café with a grab-and-go window and amphitheatre seating. The current educational rooms, offices, toilets, retail and gallery spaces will also be updated. The planning approval follows the reopening of the gallery following more than six months of work on the roof as part of a redevelopment project worth almost £1million funded by the Welsh Government through the Arts Council of Wales. The recent roof revamp on the single-story building in The Park aims to allow works from the national collection to go on display in Newtown alongside contemporary visual art. Oriel Davies Gallery said: 'We want to make our space even more accessible, develop civic spaces, improve our retail and welcome space, learning studio, improve the toilet facilities and make it possible to open up different zones of the building at different times. 'A major part of this phase will be to increase the number of loans so that we can bring the Davies sisters' collection back to the area and tell their story and the impact they have had.' The gallery is a pavilion style red brick building that was designed in 1967 by architect Alex Gordon and built using a legacy left by Wales' foremost collectors of fine art Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, who lived in mid Wales throughout their lives including at Plas Dinam and Gregynog Hall. Following the gallery's reopening, Oriel Davies has launched an evolving exhibition beginning on the streets of Newtown before moving into the gallery and developing over the summer months. The exhibition is opening with a selection of images by Geoff Charles whose contribution to Welsh photography is unique and was the photographer of record in Welsh-speaking Wales for most of that period.

("MFIUK"), authorized and regulated by the FCA, depending on the recognition disclosures: 2024 Barron's Top RIAs (Received September 2024 for the year 2023 – Licensing fees paid post award for use of the ranking). In order to be considered for the Barron's 2024 Top RIA Firms list, applicants were required to complete a 145-question survey, with the firm's ADV informing the majority of responses. Firms were also required to meet a number of other specified requirements to be eligible for inclusion. Firms were ranked based on various qualitative and quantitative factors, including assets managed, the size and experience of teams, regulatory records of the advisors and firms, technology spending, staff diversity, organic and M&A growth, client segmentation as well as succession planning. Assets under management is as of 12.31.2024 and Assets under advisement is as of 9.30.2024. Some assets under advisement ("AUA") are on a 45-to-90-day lag due to time needed to confirm away assets. As of 12.31.2024 unless otherwise noted. | 1. "Assets under supervision" includes regulatory assets under management; assets under advisement; and non-securities currency assets under management. For these purposes: (1) regulatory assets under management ("RAUM") is calculated in accordance with Instruction 5A of Form ADV and includes all assets of securities portfolios (both discretionary and non-discretionary). (2) Some assets under advisement ("AUA") are on a 45-to-90-day lag due to time needed to confirm away assets. (3) Currency assets under management includes AUM associated with (i) active and passive currency risk management products $175.23 billion, (ii) non-fx overlay strategies such as equitization and beta overlays $885.03 million, and (iii) alpha strategies $1.57 billion. In all such cases, AUM is calculated based on notional value of currency investments. Additionally, AUM for alpha strategies is adjusted because clients can select a volatility target (generally between 2% and 12% annualized), which is normalized to 2% in order to create a consistent depiction of alpha strategy AUM. This results in a "scaled" AUM, which is higher than the actual ag6gregate notional value of all alpha strategy portfolios if clients have selected a volatility target higher than 2%. As of 12.31.2024, the "unscaled" AUM for alpha strategies was $365.38 million.
