Culture centre proposed for Merthyr in Wales
Welsh minister for culture Alun Pugh has earmarked £750,000 towards creating a multi-use culture centre in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.
The new facility will combine a theatre and arts centre with facilities for small creative businesses and individual artists. It aims to provide a facility for community activity as well as a centre for the cultural industries in the region.
The Arts Council of Wales will work with the Head of the Valleys Partnership, Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and the University of Glamorgan on the project.
Pugh said: “Merthyr has a rich cultural heritage and its people want to participate and experience the arts. Yet local access to culture has been poor. A culture centre for Merthyr and the Heads of the Valleys area is long overdue. Culture and the arts have an important part to play in building stronger communities. ”
A feasibility study involving community consultation will now take place to establish the needs of local people and future opportunities for the region.
