Our Culture Connects programme is driven by our dedication to fostering creative collaborations and facilitating connections among cultural professionals. We firmly believe that these interactions play a pivotal role in empowering local artists to expand their networks, exchange knowledge, and reach new audiences on an international scale.
In line with this objective, our primary focus is to provide young creatives with increased access to collaborative grants. This enables them to embark on cross-cultural projects alongside their UK counterparts within their respective sectors, be it fashion, music, film, or visual arts. By sharing opportunities for these initiatives, we aim to catalyse meaningful exchanges and promote the growth of mutually beneficial partnerships.
Through ongoing assessments and analysis, we develop comprehensive case studies that showcase the achievements, challenges, and lessons learned from these collaborations. This allows us to identify best practices and provide valuable insights that inform future initiatives and contribute to the overall advancement of the creative sector.
