The Arts & Business (A&B) Cymru Awards 2019 took place on stage at Wales Millennium Centre on Thursday 11 July in front of over 400 guests. For over a quarter of a century, they have encouraged, acknowledged and celebrated exemplary and innovative partnerships between the private sector and the arts that benefit communities across the country.
Global Energy Company Valero has been the principal sponsor of this flagship ceremony for a decade and marked the milestone by sponsoring a one-off prize. The Valero 10 Award recognised the arts organisation judged to have had the most impact in transforming the landscape of partnership working in Wales during the past ten years and was won by The Aloud Charity for its outstanding work. The charity has sustained its activity across Wales through a wide range of partnerships with the private sector, transforming young lives through singing.
