The Welsh Government is making £15.4 million available to support the arts and cultural sector in Wales during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The additional support, as part of the third round of the Welsh Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund, is being made available for the cultural sector in Wales as it continues to be severely impacted by the Covid pandemic.
The fund will specifically support organisations impacted by the recent alert level 2 measures Ministers have put in place to keep Wales safe, and help control the rapid spread of the new omicron variant.
The Arts Council of Wales will launch its application process for organisations within the arts sector today (12 January 2022). The previously announced winter stability fund has now been merged into the third round of CRF to ensure alignment with the funding support on offer.
Other impacted sectors including music venues, heritage sites, event venues and organisers, independent local museums, community and independent libraries, galleries and independent cinemas who were previously supported via the Welsh Government’s CRF will be contacted by letter during the week commencing 17 January 2022. The letter will set out how they can access funding support.
