Our Visual Arts Department promotes British visual arts through a range of activities and events including touring exhibitions, workshops, seminars, and conferences overseas led by British artists and study programmes in the UK for overseas visitors. Our programme reflects the wide range of disciplines practised to a world class standard by British artists and includes sculpture, painting, photography and video, drawings, prints and multiples.

We have a Collection of around 8500 works of British art which you can explore and read about on the British Council Collection pages.
