The Stage, 31 March 2016 , Wales
Arts Council of Wales chairman Dai Smith has criticised the Welsh government for its "knuckle-headed, philistine" approach to the creative industries.
In an interview with BBC Wales, Smith – whose nine-year stint as chair comes to an end today (March 31) after three terms – claimed the government views the arts as elitist and condemned its decision to reduce the funding it gives to ACW.
