Will the Minister provide an update on what support the Welsh Government is providing to people who have backstage jobs in the arts sector?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism | Answered on 18/01/2024
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.
Through both Welsh Government and National Lottery funding, ACW supports a range of organisations, projects and roles across the arts sector, including technical support roles.
