Our International Collaboration Grants (ICG) have helped to support inspiring cultural collaborations around the world.
Through grants of between £25,000 and £75,000, UK artists, arts professionals and organisations have developed new connections and partnerships with their peers around the world.
In 2026, ICG is not running, but we are expanding Connections Through Culture, our consolidated Arts grants programme supporting international cultural collaboration between UK-based and international artists, creative practitioners, cultural professionals and organisations.
Connections Through Culture is now open for applications to develop new work between the UK and partners in 35 participating countries. Apply for a grant of between £5,000 and £15,000 by 12 August.
