Inquiry into Participation in the Arts in Wales
Inquiry into Participation in the Arts in Wales
The Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee undertook an inquiry into Participation in the Arts. The Committee had heard concerns from a number of organisations that budget cuts in the arts sector might have been having a negative effect on participation in the arts among some groups of people. The Committee therefore established a Task and Finish Group to undertake a short inquiry on this issue.
The terms of reference for the inquiry were to:
- assess
the impact of budget cuts on participation in the arts in Wales,
specifically whether certain groups of people have been affected more than
others;
- identify
gaps in provision for participation in the arts, both demographically and
geographically;
- explore
the role of the voluntary arts sector in arts participation and scope
alternative funding sources;
- evaluate
the policy framework between the Welsh Government and the bodies that
distribute arts funding; and
- look at whether arts organisations in Wales are equipped to deliver the equality objectives of their funders.
