We are looking to increase cultural relations between the UK and Israel in 2013.

BIARTS will be re-launched in 2013 and will have a new structure to encourage deeper and more ambitious arts links between the countries.

We will announce the new BIARTS scheme in our newsletter.

BI ARTS is a unique programme based on a bilateral cultural agreement between the Israeli and British governments. It promotes and enables dialogue between Israeli and British artists both in Israel and the UK. BI ARTS provides artists with opportunities for training and collaboration through professional development programmes and the exchange of experience and expertise in all aspects of the arts. BI ARTS reaches all sectors of the arts.

We have reached many thousands of people through our projects engaging hundreds of arts students, influential professional artists and academics, policy-makers and arts lovers every year.

BI ARTS is funded by the British Council, the Government of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Sport.

For details of some of our projects over the past 16 years of BIARTS please see here.
