On 1 October 2025, Christina Macaulay was appointed as a new member to the Arts Council of Wales following an open competition earlier in 2025. She has over three decades of experience working in the arts sector and is passionate about music and supporting emerging talent.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Christina Macaulay to the Arts Council of Wales.

I am delighted that Christina McCauley is joining ACW. Both her extensive professional experience and personal passion and commitment to the arts in Wales over many years will be a huge asset to both council colleagues and ACW staff.
