Who Can Apply

Applicants should be pursuing an artistic career or be professionally employed in the arts in Wales, including freelance practitioners who may have worked alongside more experienced collaborators or with organisations.

What Can Be Funded

'Create' is about providing opportunities for individuals and organisations to produce and present their best work. This can mean funding the production and presentation of work, the development of new ideas and/or supporting individual development through training or business growth and change, but we're open-minded about how the project might look.

What we do expect is that projects we fund should  help us to meet our priorities around equalities, diversity, the Welsh language, nurturing creative talent, health and wellbeing and supporting resilience in the arts sector. We're particularly keen to see collaborations and partnership working. This could involve a partner organisation, critical friend, artistic mentor, business advisor or training provider.


What Can Not Be Funded

There are some costs that we can't support, and these are set out in our National Lottery Funding Guidelines. 

We also can't fund full-time or part-time undergraduate or postgraduate courses in further or higher education institutions, individual tuition, lessons or vocational training.

How To Apply

One of our Development Officers will be happy to talk to you about your project idea and help you decide if this is the right programme to apply to. 

Applications should be made through our funding portal.

We can accept applications in Welsh or English.
