Arts and culture - British Council

Enhancing Scotland's Arts

We seek to enhance Scotland’s reputation in the arts and creative industries to contribute to an international and outward looking focus.

We share Scotland’s most innovative creative output with the rest of the world by facilitating partnerships between international organisations and Scottish artists.

How we Work

The British Council in Scotland identifies and acts upon opportunities for Scottish expertise in the arts and creative industries to contribute to the British Council’s cultural relations mission. Learn more about how we work.
