International Festivals and Biennials

Our grants programme supports presentations by UK architects and designers at major international festivals.

Through our dedicated grants programme we support presentations by UK architects and designers across multiple international platforms – from the São Paulo Architecture Biennial and Moscow International Biennale to Beijing Design Week and the central exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

In 2024 we awarded grants of up to £5,000 to support biennials and festivals in the UK to present work by international designers, and to biennials and festivals outside the UK to present work by UK designers.

The selection process was led by the British Council’s Architecture, Design and Fashion team in consultation with British Council offices, and the successful applicants will be announced in XXXX.
