Rubicon Dance Receives Capital Investment Funding

Rubicon Dance has been awarded funding through the Welsh Government and Arts Council of Wales Capital Investment Fund.

Rubicon Dance is delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding through the Welsh Government and Arts Council of Wales Capital Investment Fund.

This exciting investment marks an important step forward in our long-term vision for Rubicon's home in Cardiff and will support the next stage of developing and improving our building for participants and the wider community.

The funding will enable us to enhance the experience of everyone who visits Rubicon through improvements to our entrance and reception areas, creating a more welcoming and accessible environment. It will also support a programme of surveys, reviews and feasibility work that will help inform future developments across the building, ensuring we can continue to meet the needs of our growing community for years to come.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Welsh Government and Arts Council of Wales for their support and commitment to investing in arts infrastructure across Wales.

As Rubicon celebrates it's 50th Birthday, this funding represents an exciting opportunity to plan for the future and ensure that Rubicon remains a vibrant, inclusive and inspiring place for creativity, wellbeing and community connection.

We look forward to sharing more details as the project progresses.
