New Priorities for Culture have launched with a focus on opportunities for all, regardless of age or background.
These new priorities are being backed by a £15 million investment package to support their implementation across Wales.
Making the announcement, the Minister for Culture Jack Sargeant confirmed the funding - from the recent Final Budget - will be divided into two major streams:
- £8 million for an arts sector strategic capital investment programme via the Arts Council of Wales
- £7 million capital and revenue funding for museums, archives, libraries, arts and the historic environment
The enhanced funding will support several key priorities, such as improving opportunities for children and young people; addressing climate change and providing resources to help the sector achieve net-zero; developing skills; enhancing access and digital improvement.
