Our work in arts and culture
We find new ways of connecting with and understanding each other through the arts, building creative and collaborative global communities that inspire innovation, knowledge, prosperity and peace. The connections we build through arts and culture transform lives and create positive change.
We deliver this through:
Cultural exchange
We support organisations and artists to build networks and collaborate and bring artists and audiences together to share and exchange creative ideas.
Find out about our current and upcoming international opportunities for artists, creatives, professionals and organisations.
Creative economy
We work with creative leaders to support sustainable and inclusive creative economies.

Culture responds to global challenges
Through the transformative power of arts and culture to change mindsets, we support more connected and equal societies and the protection and promotion of cultural expression, diversity and heritage at risk. Read more about our Cultural Protection Fund, in partnership with DCMS, here.
