I’D LIKE to invite your readers to get involved with a Wales-wide arts festival for over-50s next May by applying for a Gwanwyn Community Grant.
The grants are available to groups or individuals who want to organise an arts event for over-50s during the Gwanwyn festival in May 2017.
These could be painting or photography classes; music, drama or storytelling workshops or art exhibitions – basically, any activities that get over-50s involved in art.
We’ll welcome applications from anyone who wants to get involved – choirs, care homes, community groups, art groups, writers’ groups – anyone who wants to celebrate creativity among over-50s with us in May.
The older people’s charity Age Cymru runs the Gwanwyn Festival with support from Arts Council Wales and the Welsh government.
For a Gwanwyn Community Grant application form and an information pack with details on how to apply please visit gwanwyn.org.uk and click the ‘Funding’ tab.
You can also request a pack by calling Age Cymru on 029 2043 1555.
The closing date for applications for a Gwanwyn Community Grant is Wednesday, December 7.
