Artists and arts organisations in Wales are being encouraged to contribute their opinions to a government ‘task and finish’ group investigating the way the arts and education sectors work together. A questionnaire asks how different ages, special educational needs and genders are currently supported and whether planned arts activities support literacy and numeracy learning. They also want feedback on how arts participation reduces the impact of poverty and disadvantage. The group will include ministers with responsibility for both education and the arts and will be chaired by the Chair of the Arts Council Wales, Professor Dai Smith. All forms need to submitted by the 19th October.
