The British Council promotes innovative and diverse aspects of UK arts, including visual arts, architecture, design, dance, theatre, music, film and literature. We provide opportunities for people in China and the UK to share creativity and thus inspire one another.

As a cultural relations organisation, we arrange arts projects with the aim of building a stronger relationship between the UK and China. We also host and support high quality UK arts events in China that appeal to a wide range of audiences.
