Our colleagues in Flintshire are inviting you to join their FREE Meet the Funder Event online.

Come join the Arts Council Wales for a Meet the Funder Event on 11th May @ 2pm

The Arts Council of Wales' Noson Allan/Night Out scheme helps groups of volunteers across Wales bring the arts to the heart of their communities.

Community groups (known as Promoters) can choose from a huge range of great professional performers and put them on in community or village halls and other non-traditional venues across the country.

Find out about the various Arts Council Wales grants for organisations. Currently open are:

• Creative Steps for Organisations: support individuals and organisations who have experienced barriers to accessing our funding.
• Create: funds the development and creation of high-quality arts experiences that help creative individuals and organisations engage with and connect to the public.
