the arts

Woodward and Bernstein had known each other casually years earlier at the Orange County School of the Arts.

Coming after the election, Wild Up’s five “Democracy Sessions” conveyed an obviously different mood, the progressive movements in the arts typically going hand-in-hand with a progressive political outlook.

It comes as the council publishes a report into the economic impact of the arts in Wales which reveals that for every pound spent there is a return of £2.51.

He also warned the arts are at risk of becoming elitist if not properly funded.

Mr Rhys also believes the arts should receive statutory funding status from the Welsh government.
