Connecting people through culture in unprecedented times

We understand that this is a difficult time for the creative sector and for artists and creative professionals across the globe. We have always believed that culture connects us and at this time of uncertainty this is more important than ever.

We’re committed to ensuring that people have access to culture and cultural connections. We hope that through new approaches to our work, we can continue to provide opportunities for artists and creatives around the world during a difficult and unpredictable time.

You can read more about what we are doing in light of the current situation on our website. We’ll be updating this page as the situation develops.

Got any suggestions of how we can provide you with information and advice during this time? Let us know by replying to this email.
