The British Council has launched a £1 million ($1,260,000) grants programme to support the creation of new cultural collaborations between UK artists, arts professionals, and organisations with their peers around the world. The grant programme aims to foster new bilateral and multilateral partnerships and provide funding for organisations to create and develop creative artwork with international peers, as well as assist individual artists in finding innovative ways to collaborate.
