This week on Pain in the Arts, Chris and Jack dive into community‑driven exhibitions, chaotic but charming audiences, and the ongoing frustrations around arts funding in Wales. From a powerful, people‑focused exhibition at the University of South Wales to a run of eclectic nights at Cabaret, the pair explore how creativity continues to bring communities together — even as funding structures crumble around them.
They also tackle two big questions:
• Are we drifting back toward elitism in the arts?
• How do you refresh a creative business after 20+ years?
Expect sharp insights, warm humour, and a candid look at how the arts sector is shifting — from who gets to make art, to who gets to access it, to how creatives can keep their work alive in a changing world.
