Arts Council Wales has announced it is pausing two funding schemes targeted at educators and learners for review.

The Go and See and Have a Go funds will close at 12pm on 3 October and reopen on 4 November.

Go and See offers grants up to £1,000 to enable teachers in Welsh state-maintained schools to take learners to see high-quality art in venues across Wales.

Meanwhile, Have a Go aims to facilitate hands-on activities or workshops that focus on the expressive arts with grants of up to £1,500 to state-maintained schools, pupil referral units and arts and cultural organisations in Wales.

In announcing the change, ACW said: "Our popular grants for schools, artists, and arts organisations help support access to high-quality arts activity for learners and teachers and have had a huge impact across Wales.

"We are reviewing both our Go and See and Have a Go grants, and they will be temporarily closed from 12pm on 3 October.

"Please be assured that both schemes will reopen again on Monday 4 November 2024."
