The Arts Council of Wales is the country’s funding and development organisation for the arts. It is an independent charity, established by Royal Charter in 1994 and its members are appointed by the Welsh Government’s Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism.
Its principle sponsor is the Welsh Government and it also distributes funding from the National Lottery, raising additional money from a variety of public and private sector sources.
The Arts Council of Wales has supported the Relics project through an initial Research & Development grant and more recently through a large production grant for individuals.
