The Four Nations International Fund supports individuals and organisations in developing international partnerships and co-creation projects.
This pilot fund, now open, is designed to encourage in-person, digital and hybrid collaboration:
- between artists, creative practitioners and organisations from the four nations across the UK, and...
- counterparts from elsewhere in Europe and beyond.
The Four Nations International Fund is a pilot fund with co-investment from Arts Council England, Arts Council Northern Ireland, Arts Council Wales/Wales Arts International and Creative Scotland.
