Purpose of the consultation
The
Culture, Welsh Language
and Communications Committee is holding an inquiry into non-public
arts funding.
Background
The
vast majority of the Welsh Government’s budget allocations for the arts are for
the Arts Council of Wales: £31.2 million revenue out of £31.7 million allocated
in this area in the 2017-18 draft budget. Revenue funding in this area
increased by 3.5% in cash terms compared to the 2016-17 revised baseline.
Despite this increase in funding for the Arts Council, the Cabinet Secretary
has asked the Council to “accelerate its work to help its portfolio
organisations, and the wider sector, to increase their self-generated income”.
The
Committee’s inquiry will investigate the success of the arts sector in Wales at
increasing its non-public funding, the distribution of non-public arts funding
in Wales and international models of best-practice that Wales could look to
emulate in this regard.
Terms of
Reference:
- The effectiveness of efforts to increase
non-public funding of the arts in Wales by bodies including the Arts
Council, local authorities and artists and arts organisations themselves.
This funding would include:
- earned income;
- philanthropy;
- investment.
- The level of non-public funding
distributed in Wales and how this compares to the rest of the UK.
- International examples of innovative
approaches to raising non-public funding of the arts.
The
Committee held a public consultation from 28 July until 25 August 2017. The Committee will begin taking oral evidence
on this inquiry in the autumn term.
