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.
