Question
What discussion has the Cabinet Secretary had with the Arts Council of Wales to ensure that the £1.5 million given to the Council will be spent on supporting performing jobs in the sector?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Culture, Skills and Social Partnership
My predecessor met with the Chair and Chief Executive of the Arts Council of Wales (ACW) in early September.
During the meeting the additional £1.5m of revenue funding to ACW was discussed. ACW will shortly be seeking applications to distribute this funding across its partner organisations to retain jobs within the sector, including those in the performing arts.
