The Arts Council of Wales is an Assembly sponsored Public Body and a registered charity. We are also a distributor of National Lottery funding. Our vision is a dynamic and creative arts sector for Wales.
We aim to create the climate and conditions that motivate and develop the artistic talents of the nation; that enable new ventures and new artists to flourish; and that produce a diverse range of artistic experiences that stimulate, provoke and inspire audiences at home and abroad.
