Criteria for the evaluation of Beacon Companies

Date Released: 1 February 2008

The Arts Council of Wales (ACW) has been funded by the Welsh Assembly Government (£1.5 million a year) to implement the Beacon Company proposal outlined in the Wales Arts (Stephens) Review.

Draft evaluation and eligibility criteria for Beacon Company status were agreed at ACW's Council meeting on 25 January. We are seeking feedback before presenting proposals to the Arts Strategy Board on 21 February.

There will be the opportunity to discuss the criteria at our Regional Artform Consultation Seminars on 6, 7 and 8 February. You can register to attend those seminars via the following link:
