Capital Lottery Funding

Since 1997 we have distributed over £130 million of National Lottery funding towards capital projects across Wales. There can be no doubt that this funding has transformed the arts infrastructure of Wales, benefitting creative professionals, arts organisations and those who attend and participate in the arts alike. Our ambition for our Capital Programme is to continue to bring significant benefits to the arts in Wales through capital investment. We will do this by ensuring that arts organisations in Wales have fit for purpose buildings and equipment that enables them to fulfil their potential and increase their resilience. We will give particular priority to organisations that make up our Arts Portfolio Wales. The majority of our capital budget has now been allocated and we are no longer able to accept applications for funding towards new major capital projects. This includes applications towards public art initiatives. If you already have a project that we have been developing with you, please see the relevant guidelines below to navigate your way through our three stage application process.
