The Investment Review is the first move in our new 10-year strategy, effective from April 2023.

Our new strategic plan will build on much of the learning from our Investment Review consultation and will have the six principles at its centre.

And while the Investment Review is crucial to how we support the arts, it’s not the only way. There are other key areas – including arts and health, education and young people, international work, and support for individual artists and creative freelancers – which will be included in the work of funded organisations. These important areas will also have additional dedicated investment and programmes set out in our strategic plan.

A key outcome across all our work and investment – including this Investment Review – will be the arts having a positive impact on the well-being of people in Wales.
