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.
The programme provides grants of up to £1,500 to support schools working with arts organisations or creative practitioners in delivering the Expressive Arts Area of Learning, which includes:
- art
- dance
- drama
- film and digital media
- music
Activities can be delivered either in or out of school, during school hours, or as extra-curricular activities.
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
The funding is available until March 2026, and applications are accepted from state-maintained schools, pupil referral units, and arts and cultural organisations on a rolling basis.
