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.
