OUR WORK

We work with artists and cultural professionals expanding knowledge, horizons and opportunities for exchange to open dialogue, further international arts practice and champion intercultural understanding.

Arts Managers' Placement Programmes

These programmes involve participants from overseas (selected via public advertising and a competitive interview process) to work and stay in the UK over a period of four to five weeks with UK-based arts organisations.

Chinese-UK Arts Managers Placement Programme. 2005, 2003 and 1999 These programmes have been developed in partnership with British Council China, the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China and with additional support from Arts Council England, Scottish Arts Council, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. They included both visual and performing arts managers. Nearly 50 participants have completed this programme to date. In 2005, participants had an extended programme with an additional week in France, as guests of Maison des Cultures du Monde.

Russian Federation-UK Arts Management Placement Programme. 2000, 2001 & 2002 These programmes were developed in partnership with the Open Society Institute Russia, British Council Russia and the Ford Foundation Russia.  In 2002, a partnership developed with The Netherlands’ Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, enabled the participants to extend their month long placements in the UK by also visiting the Netherlands, and hence experiencing a different European model of arts management.   These programmes involved 53 arts managers over the 3-year cycle.

Caucasus-UK Arts Management Placement Programmes. 2001, 1999 and 1998 The 1998 programme was the first of its kind for Visiting Arts, developed in partnership with the Open Society Institute Budapest.  31 performing arts managers took part over the 3-year duration, and changes introduced after feedback from each programme ensured the continuous improvement of this type of programme.

Central Asia-UK Arts Management Placement Programme 2000 Including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia.  Programme developed in partnership with the Open Society Institute Budapest.
