Question
What action is the Minister taking to promote theatres across Wales ahead of the Easter holiday?
Answer
Answered by 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.
The promotion of individual performances and events will be down to organisations advertising their calendar of events independently.
Under ACW’s new multi-year funding arrangements, from 1 April theatres and venues across Wales will receive a total of just over £14m in support for the 2024/25 financial year.
