About Cultural Bridge
Cultural Bridge supports arts and cultural organisations across the UK and Germany to develop partnerships that explore social arts practice. By enabling new and existing connections, the programme supports a growing network of organisations committed to sharing expertise and skills, exchanging ideas and collaborating on artistic practices and projects that explore themes and issues faced by communities across both countries.
Programme Overview
Cultural Bridge supports both new and established partnerships across the UK and Germany, promoting creative collaborations that address community challenges. The programme offers funding through two tiers:
Tier 1: New Partnerships – up to £10,000 per partnership for organisations forming brand new collaborations.

In addition to project funding, organisations can also apply for personal access costs to ensure equitable participation.
