Our programme of International Seasons of Culture creates time-limited cultural spotlights for the whole of the UK, enabling new international collaborations and providing a global platform for UK culture.
International Seasons are major bilateral programmes which celebrate and deepen the UK’s relationship with partner countries. Through vibrant showcases featuring the best of the UK's creative sectors, we help to develop the UK’s relationship with strategically important countries, often running our seasons in tandem with international sporting events, significant anniversaries and World Expos.
