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 UK and US-based organisations.

Opportunities

We work to create opportunities that build connections and capacity between the UK and US cultural sectors.

Conversations

We seek to inspire conversations around societal issues of importance in the UK and US through pieces of art that bring these issues to the forefront.
