Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Welsh Government support for the Arts is channelled through the Arts Council of Wales (ACW) who operate at arm’s length from Government. All individual funding decisions are made by ACW and the Welsh Government does not intervene in these decisions.
ACW’s Create scheme, supported through National Lottery funds, is open to individuals, including photographers, to apply for up to £50k to develop and create work, as well as to develop their own training and skills.
Through its grant-in-aid funding, ACW also funds Ffotogallery, which specialises in photography and lens-based media in Wales and beyond, encouraging public understanding of and deeper engagement with photography and its value to society.
