Regenerating. Renewing. Revitalising. This year, ACW’s conference showcases inspirational examples of how the arts can regenerate communities, the physical environment, the economy and rural areas.

Open Mic sessions will offer delegates the chance to have their say on a range of issues. There will be keynote speeches from the new Assembly Minister for Culture, the new Chair of The Arts Council of Wales, Professor Dai Smith, and Robert Hewison, Research Associate with Demos.

The delegate fee of £35 includes the chance to join the Arts Council and Paula Gardiner Trio for a "Creole and Cocktails" buffet reception the evening before the conference, on Wednesday 13 June at Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
