Arts Council of Wales | The Arts in Wales

The Arts in Wales

The Arts Council of Wales' vision is for a creative Wales where the arts are central to the life of the nation.


Quality

We support the creation of high quality arts. We want to see a country of strong, durable, successful and innovative artists and arts organisations across all artforms who are creating, presenting and promoting high quality arts activities.


Participation

We want more people to enjoy and take part in the arts. The public are inspired by imagination and creativity, excited by ambition and spectacle, fascinated by the new and unfamiliar. We have a range of strategies that promote participation in the arts by the broadest range of people across the country.


Promotion

Our work also consists of schemes which promote Welsh arts locally and internationally as well as increase the accessibility of the arts in Wales. By following the liks below, you can find more information on the different schemes.


This section of the website aims to be a source of information about practicing artists and art organisations in Wales. It also gives as much information as we can offer about the work Arts Council of Wales are doing to support a creative Wales.
