New Connections is the British Council’s arts programme, offering a series of inspirational events that create new connections between top talents from the UK and audiences in Italy. We work in collaboration with partners and artists to create events in Music, Literature, Film, Dance, Theatre, Architecture and Design, Visual Arts and the business of Creativity. The New Connections Award is offered to those partners and artists we recognise as making a particularly valuable contribution in fostering closer cultural relations between the two countries.
