Open Call for Cultural Organisations

British Council‘s International Collaboration Grants supports the creation of new cultural collaborations between UK artists, arts professionals and organisations and their peers around the world. 

The grants encourage new bilateral and multilateral partnerships, providing funding to enable organisations to make and develop creative artwork with their international peers, and help individual artists find innovative ways of collaborating.  

Available grants range between £25,000 and £75,000 and are now open for application.

Applications must demonstrate genuine international collaboration and deliver explicit benefit to participating UK artists and organisations and their international partners. Projects can address any theme and we ask applicants to share their approach to diversity, inclusion and environmental sustainability in the delivery of their project. 

Call for Womxn Artists

The Motwani Jadeja Art Prize will support and nurture one extraordinary artist from India each year through a commissioned art project, to be unveiled at each subsequent edition of India Art Fair. This will be the largest art prize in South Asia and will contribute towards the development of the winning artist’s practice through the realisation of an ambitious, large-scale outdoor art installation.

The inaugural edition of the Motwani Jadeja Art Prize will support an Indian womxn artist with a USD 63,000 prize and an opportunity to create a large scale installation at India Art Fair 2025. The overarching curatorial direction for the inaugural edition of the Prize will draw from themes including sustainability, community and ecology.
