Work on Welsh language arts strategy begins

Arts Council of Wales is set to begin work on a new strategy for Welsh and the arts.

The funder says it will draw up the strategy in collaboration with the arts and Welsh language sectors.

Individuals and organisations interested in contributing are invited to attend fortnightly Zoom discussions starting February 9, hosted by Einir Siôn, recently appointed as the council’s first Welsh Language Enabler.

Siôn says the strategy will be formed in an open and participatory way, with public discussions focused on actions the Arts Council can take in the arts: “This will not be a platform to air complaints but an opportunity to discuss positive ways of creating change."
