cultural connections uk–finland partnership

In response to the growing need for support in mobility opportunities and cultural exchange, the pilot aims to reinvigorate international collaboration by offering UK-based artists new opportunities to connect with Finland’s arts scene.

The initiative will include an open call for artists to take part in exchange activities with Finnish venues, festivals and creative organisations, building bridges and fostering shared learning between the UK and Finland’s cultural sectors.

The Cultural Connections pilot seeks to empower artists at the early stages of their careers to broaden their international networks, gain professional experience and contribute to a vibrant exchange between two innovative cultural landscapes.
