Mwldan is a not-for-profit organisation that combines economic activity with a social and ethical purpose. At Mwldan's heart is the belief that the arts can deliver life-changing and life-enhancing experiences that have the power to change perceptions and increase tolerance, breaking down cultural divides and allowing greater understanding - as relevant for the community we live in as it is for the planet we live on. This vision is at the core of Mwldan and all its activities.

As an increasing number of the town's buildings became neglected, run-down and empty, Galeri Caernarfon Cyf (formerly known as Cwmni Tref Caernarfon) was set up as an independent Town Development Trust.
