Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru The Arts Council Of Wales Committee Member Organsiation: Arts Council Of Wales Location: All regions Salary: N/A The Arts Council of Wales seeks Independent Members for its following Committees: Regional Committees (South Wales, North Wales and Mid & West Wales), Audit Committee, Capital Committee The Arts Council of Wales (ACW) is the national development and funding body for the arts in Wales, established in 1994 by Royal Charter with four key objectives: develop and improve the knowledge, understanding and practice of the arts; increase the accessibility of the arts to the public; advise and co-operate with other public bodies; work through the medium of Welsh and English. ACW is also a registered charity and distributes almost £40m of Welsh Assembly Government and National Lottery funding to the arts in Wales. Partnership is crucial to ACW's work. ACW now seeks a number of individual Independent Members to join its following committees; Regional Committees - North Wales, South Wales and Mid & West Wales The three Regional Committees are the principal interface between local authorities, arts representatives and ACW. They bring together arts practitioners and elected local authority members four times per year in each region, to provide direct input into the developing and monitoring of ACW's Regional Plan and strategies, to advise on the work of existing and prospective revenue-funded organisations within the respective Committee areas, and to support the work of local officers. Committee members aim to foster and nurture links with local authorities and to provide advocacy tools and information to promote the case for the arts in their region. To be considered you should: - have a sound knowledge of the arts infrastructure in the region and demonstrate an understanding of the major issues in the cultural sector; - be committed to help develop and champion high-quality artistic endeavours that range from local community arts projects to national touring companies, ensuring that the arts continue to make a central contribution to the economic and cultural life of Wales; - be able to contribute objectively to discussions about regional and national arts issues; - combine the qualities of creativity, vision and passion with those of discretion, propriety and pragmatism; Audit Committee Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the systems of internal control across ACW's risk management, control, corporate governance, financial and other operations. The Committee monitors the work of both internal and external auditors and ACW's progress in implementing recommendations made and advises Council on relevant issues. It meets five times a year. We are seeking committed, and enthusiastic individuals who will be able to help further the work of the Committee at a key stage in ACW's evolution. The successful candidates will provide an independent, external perspective to inform the work of the Audit Committee. You will provide a support and challenge function, and contribute at a strategic level on the issues falling within the remit of the Committee To be considered you should have a sound knowledge and significant experience of one or more of the following: - corporate governance, preferably within the public and/or charity sectors, including internal control and risk management; Information sheet for applicants - organisation and performance management at a senior level - financial management and/or auditing and the ability to understand and interpret financial statements. A professional accounting qualification together with relevent knowledge, experience and background would be highly desirable for the latter. A knowledge of, or interest in the arts would be beneficial. ACW wishes to appoint members from business and the professions in order to maintain a balance of perspectives on the Committee. Capital Committee The Capital Committee meets up to six times per year and considers applications to fund major capital projects throughout Wales. Members of the Committee would therefore be expected to attend meetings and site visits at locations across the Principality, occasionally involving an overnight stay.
