Funding - British Council - Arts

I am a UK artist and want to know about opportunities to work abroad – can you help?
No, we don't have the resources to compile information on opportunities overseas. However, ArtQuest have international opportunities on their website for some art forms.

I am a UK artist and want funding to work overseas.
We are not a funding body. You could try contacting the relevant Arts Council in your region, as they have some funding initiatives for international arts projects. You could also try contacting Euclid, who provide an international funding enquiry service.

I am an overseas arts promoter/curator, and would like support in bringing UK artists to my country.
Every other year, we also hold a Showcase event at the Edinburgh Festival, when we invite international theatre and dance promoters and producers to come to the UK and see some exciting new work. If you are interested in this, please see our Drama and Dance pages.

My business is interested in the benefits of supporting a British Council arts event.
If you are interested in a business partnership with us, please see the Working with Business area of our site.

I have been invited to an event/exhibition/festival overseas - can you help with the funding?
No, we are not a funding body. However, if you are a film maker, you may be interested in the Short Film Promotion Scheme. Your host in the overseas country can also contact their local British Council office to discuss whether your visit might support activities and projects they are engaged in.

The Short Film Promotion Scheme helps UK short film-makers showing their films at international festivals. To be eligible, films need to be less than 45 minutes long, less than a year old and have a UK-based director or producer.
