The Diversity and Equality sub-group is working to promote diversity and equality issues within the Alliance, so that these issues can be fully represented as the Alliance works with Welsh Government, the Arts Council of Wales and other bodies supporting the arts in Wales.
The WCA is made up of different working groups which deal with a number of different issues relevant to the arts and culture sector in Wales, including Diversity & Equality, Welsh Language, Climate & Culture, Education & Participation, Collaboration, Economy, as well as an Agile Response Group and a Steering Group.
We would like more people from across all the diverse communities of Wales who have an interest in and knowledge of the arts to join the Alliance and be part of any of these groups.
You can sign up to the Alliance mailing list here.
