The Arts Council of Wales has opened its Arts Capital Investment programme, offering grants to help arts organisations improve buildings, facilities and equipment. The Arts Council of Wales is the national organisation that develops and supports the arts in Wales.

Eligible arts organisations can apply for funding for capital projects that improve their ability to create, present and provide access to high-quality arts experiences. Support can include improvements to arts buildings and venues, specialist equipment and other capital investment that strengthens organisations and their facilities.

The programme can support projects addressing accessibility, environmental sustainability and the suitability of spaces for artists, audiences and communities. Applicants should demonstrate a clear need for the investment and explain how it will contribute to their organisation’s work and the wider arts sector.

Key points:
• Funding is for eligible arts organisations in Wales.
• Support is available for capital expenditure, including buildings, facilities and equipment.
• Projects should improve the quality, accessibility or sustainability of arts facilities.
• Applicants must meet the Arts Council of Wales’ eligibility requirements.
• Organisations should discuss potential applications with the Arts Council before applying.

Application requirements, funding levels and deadlines depend on the scale and nature of the proposed capital investment. Organisations should check the current programme guidance before submitting an application.

The fund will close at midday 19 October 2026.
