We work in partnership with a range of Cypriot organisations, venues and festivals to develop an annual series of events – screenings, performances, and exhibitions - showcasing the very best of contemporary UK arts. We support contemporary UK artists to travel to Cyprus and give performances or collaborate with Cypriot artists. We support workshops, seminars and events, connecting young Cypriots with contemporary UK.

Future events supported by British Council Cyprus will be posted here.
