2.1

Title

Widening Engagement

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

To deliver a series of stakeholder conversations about widening creative and cultural engagement with communities across Wales.

This work will involve engaging with a range of community groups and representatives to identify what these communities themselves would want from a programme designed to fund and/or support creative activity in their locality. We’d like to know what it might look like, how it could be organised and how it would widen arts and cultural engagement. Amgueddfa Cymru is currently developing its ten-year strategy and this commission will also directly inform its future plans and methods of working. The Arts Council of Wales is also developing a longer term engagement programme and looking for this work to help shape this.

Communities themselves must be the focus of this research. We specifically don’t want a piece of work that simply identifies those who we routinely work with. We’re particularly interested in understanding better the interests, ambitions, frustrations of those who, for whatever reason, choose to believe that the arts “aren’t for them” and choose not to use Amgueddfa Cymru as a resource.
