The British Council has a programme to provoke and support collaborative exchanges between the UK and India in the arts. It is focused on generating long-term partnerships between arts organisations and producers in the UK and their counterparts in India.A pilot grant scheme for Connections though Culture: India - UK is now open. Further information about the programme, including a ‘how-to’ guide to working within India, can be found on the new Connections through Culture website. Any arts producer or representative from an arts organisation is eligible to apply. The closing date is 8 March 2010. The grant scheme available offers support in three principle areas: Bespoke Visits - There are a number of small grants available towards the costs of research visits to the partner country. These are aimed at helping organisations further potential partnerships with face to face discussions needed to develop projects beyond initial interest. Development Support - There are also a number of grants available to help with developing collaborative work and which is primarily aimed at contributing towards travel and production costs. Showcasing Collaborative Work - While Connections through Culture is primarily about the development of relationships to enable collaborative work to happen, there are cases where we can support showcasing of work in India, through small grants which can form part of overall costs.
