Arts groups in Wales await funding review     

Arts groups in Wales await funding review Arts organisations are awaiting the outcome of a key investment review by the Arts Council of Wales (ACW).

ACW will announce this month which of the 116 groups which have applied will be guaranteed backing through the next financial year.

ACW chief executive Nick Capaldi said the review had been "difficult" and some are bound to be disappointed.

The assembly government is due to announce the ACW's budget in December.

The exercise started before the recession hit home but the squeeze on public finances will obviously make an impact, said Mr Capaldi.
