Our work in arts | British Council

Through our work in the arts, we seek to foster meaningful collaborations between the cultural sectors in the UK and US. These collaborations are intended to increase dialogue around issues facing both countries and to build capacity in their respective cultural sectors. All of our projects are devised in partnership with a US-based organization.
