Promoting Access to the Arts, Culture and Heritage
Plaid Cymru believes that the arts are for everybody and that our organisations should continue to provide greater support and opportunities for everybody to engage with them and participate, irrespective of their background.
This requires partnerships between stakeholders to foster relationships between locally based cultural activities and our national institutions.
Wales should also be a host to high quality cultural organisations, which celebrate our history and heritage, and reflect the realities of life in Wales. There should be no reason to sacrifice quality in order to ensure access for all.
We remain committed to the policy of free entry to our national museums. We will also work with the Urdd and Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru to ensure free tickets are available for low income families, exploring with them if this can be expanded in future years.
We support the better promotion of Welsh culture and heritage, including the Football Museum for Wales in Wrexham and the National Gallery of Contemporary Art.
