Launched in March 2010, the New Critics Programme was a new initiative aimed at boosting arts criticism in Wales by offering a group of budding critics one-to-one mentoring with an experienced arts critic.
Whether you are a professional or an armchair critic, an arts administrator, emerging writer or simply a keen theatre-goer, this is a great opportunity to get a unique insight into the world of critical debate.
