Funding for Expressive Arts Activities in Schools (Wales)

The Arts Council of Wales has launched a new fund to help children develop their skills and knowledge in the expressive arts.

The Have a Go Fund provides grants of up to £1,500 to support schools in providing opportunities for children aged 16 and under to participate in hands-on expressive arts activities and workshops.

Activities can be delivered by arts organisations or creative practitioners either in or out of school, during school hours, or as extra-curricular activities.

The programme supports schools in delivering the Expressive Arts Area of Learning and Experience which includes:

  • art
  • dance
  • drama
  • film and digital media
  • music

Up to 90% of the total cost of the visit will be funded, with a minimum of 10% match funding required.

Applications are open to:

  • state-maintained schools
  • pupil referral units
  • arts and cultural organisations based in Wales

Applications are accepted at any time but must be submitted at least five working weeks before the activity begins.
