Adapting and moving forward

We wanted to share a snapshot of how our global arts teams have been adapting during this challenging time...  

In Japan we’ve found innovative ways to offer an online tour of The National Gallery’s exhibition ‘Masterpieces’ for a museum audience in Tokyo.

The Sub Saharan Africa team have been using Facebook Live to encourage conversation. Their latest Creative Hustle session focused on adapting your business for a post-pandemic economy.

Closer to home, we've pulled together the latest advice, funding, resources, and tips for staying creative. If you have a resource we could add please get in touch with us via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #CultureConnectsUs.
