Creative Wales Awards give artists freedom, space and time to develop their skills and creativity.

Funded by The Arts Council of Wales, Creative Wales Awards of up to £25,000 are available every year, and in 2007/08, 16 artists will receive a total of £300,000. The Awards guarantee artists a livelihood, enabling them to take time out to experiment, innovate, and take forward their work. It's a chance to think, to branch out, to take risks - room to breathe.

Artists receiving the 2007/08 Creative Wales Awards were honoured at a special celebration held in the Point, Cardiff Bay on 6 March 2008.
