The Artists' international development programme is a £750,000 fund, jointly funded by the British Council and Arts Council England.

The programme offers early stage development opportunities for individual freelance and self employed artists based in England to spend time building links with artists, organisations and/or creative producers in another country.

In November 2012 we announced the 26 successful applicants to the second round of funding and in July 2012 we announced the 26 successful applicants to the first round. You can download the full lists using the link on the right. Deadlines for future rounds in the 2013-14 financial year will be announced soon.

Artists are able to apply for small grants (minimum of £1,000 up to £5,000). You can only apply to the Artists' international development programme once in any financial year.
