UK creativity in advertising and architecture, on page, catwalk, screen and stage - impacts on global culture and is enriched by contact with other cultures.

We create and consolidate cross-cultural links and partnerships by organising over 3000 arts events every year worldwide, to an audience of over five million. We reach out to many more on the Internet, on radio and TV and on the printed page. We bring together, in residencies, workshops and exchanges, artists and institutions from Britain and the rest of the world.

We promote development through arts and we encourage practitioners to export their skills and services by showcasing their work at home and overseas.
