Cultural Bridge
Cultural Bridge fördert bilaterale Partnerschaften zwischen dem UK und Deutschland durch Kollaborationen aller UK Arts Councils und führenden deutschen Kulturinstitutionen. Das Programm zielt darauf ab eine Plattform für Austausch zu sein, hinterfragt gleichzeitig soziale Missstände und fördert den Dialog zwischen dem UK und Deutschland durch künstlerische Kollaborationen und mehr "Kultur-Demokratie".
Zusammen mit Fonds Soziokultur, dem British Council, dem Arts Council England, dem Arts Council of Northern Ireland, dem Arts Council of Wales / Wales Arts International, und Creative Scotland haben wir das Pilotprogramm initiiert um eine Finanzierungsmöglichkeit für bilaterale, gemeindeorientierte Kunst-Kollaborationen zu schaffen.
Cultural Bridge gibt 20 ausgezeichnete Partnerschaften für ihr Programm 2026-2027 bekannt
Cultural Bridge is a collaborative funding network between Arts Council England, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, British Council, Creative Scotland, Fonds Soziokultur, Goethe-Institut London and Wales Arts International / Arts Council of Wales, that supports arts and cultural organisations across the UK and Germany to develop partnerships exploring social arts practice.
The 23 partnerships for its 2026 - 2027 programme have been awarded a total of £370,000 to share expertise and skills, exchange ideas and collaborate on artistic practices and projects that explore themes and issues faced by communities across both countries.
Funding is awarded across two tiers with up to £10,000 for new partnerships and up to £30,000 for existing partnerships. This year’s programme supports sixteen new and seven established connections, including four partnerships that Cultural Bridge has previously supported.
The funding network launched in 2021 and has now supported 68 partnerships through 85 awards. It enables hundreds of artists and practitioners to work with thousands of community members across a range of art forms and themes.
This year’s funding will support work exploring migration; queer-led and care-based work; youth empowerment and social inclusion; creative practice in post-industrial and rural locations; inclusive, disability-led dance art and performance; urban development; digital storytelling; environmental and ecological spaces; and much more.
