ArtWorks Cymru and Welsh National Opera

Action research in Wales identifying appropriate development support.

Welsh National Opera, as project lead for ArtWorks Cymru, brought together seven other organisations and individuals from across Wales to create a consortium of participatory commissioners to explore and share their practice and to investigate how employers can better support the artists that deliver their work. They set out a three stage research structure covering consultation, action research and dissemination, to identify what was appropriate for the sector.
