Our work in arts | British Council

Our approach

Working jointly with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland through international work, we support and promote Northern Ireland's creative output.

The Artists’ International Development Fund is a £50,000 annual programme jointly funded by the British Council and Arts Council Northern Ireland.

The British Council is a major partner in a number of festivals that occur in Northern Ireland throughout the year.

Our work in arts aims to promote the UK’s diverse culture, creativity and innovation overseas.

Creative Europe Desk UK is led jointly by the British Council and the British Film Institute with partners across the UK
