We help artists to break new grounds, support creativity and innovation, increase capacity by building skills to support livelihoods and cultural enterprise, extend safe spaces for creative exchange and contribute to research and policy.
We work towards three outcomes:

- Response to Global Challenges: Communities and societies internationally benefit from an environment and ecosystem which encourages creative expression, contributes to the development of social and cultural capital, promotes cultural diversity and protects cultural heritage
In Nepal, our activities align with regional focus areas and are delivered through the following programmes:
1. Inclusion: We plan and implement programmes that promote equality, diversity and inclusion in the arts and society particularly focusing on the inclusion of women/girls and gender minorities, disabled people, and marginalised groups.
