International Collaboration
We know that bringing different minds and bodies together from around the world creates exciting opportunities, ignites innovative thinking and changes the way we view the world.
To support more of this, we instigate and deliver international collaborations and exchanges between the UK and our international partners to develop creative collaborations that produce high-quality work.
We facilitate and support exchanges between international organisations and professional artists, emerging practitioners and academics in the UK.
