The Connections Through Culture grants are instrumental in supporting new ideas and collaborations from artists and cultural organisations at any stage of development.

The grants supported in this round of the Connections Through Culture programme have focused on two distinct areas:

  • diversity and inclusion
  • addressing climate change.

The collaborative efforts, across borders and artistic disciplines, will lead to new thoughts and ideas designed to address global challenges.

The grants support new connections, exchanges and collaborations. They help to build long-term relationships and collaborations between artists, cultural professionals, creative practitioners and art and cultural organisations, hubs, networks and collectives.
