Feeling Horse: Samples From The Alchemical Voodoo Kitchen
This first solo show by Marega Palser reveals a side of the artist not yet seen by many. Her work defies conventional categories and expectations – it is a playful mix of prints, drawings, shrines and kitsch – a colourful, kaleidoscopic expression of a free spirit (until 11 Jan). www.chapter.org

This is the last chance to see some of the National Museum of Cardiff’s best-loved Realist, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works before they depart on a tour across the US. Enjoy works by Monet, Sisley and Rodin (until 28 Jan).
