Culture Diary Launches today: a new free tool for organisers of UK cultural events at home and abroad
Following its success supporting nearly 4,500 cultural events planned in the capital during the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Culture Diary has now gone from a London tool to a global tool, bought together through a unique collaboration between Arts Council England, British Council, Department for Culture, Media & Sport, GREAT Britain campaign, Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the Mayor of London, Visit Britain and UK Trade & Investment.
From 28th April 2014, UK organisations working in the cultural sector can:
-
Upload information about public and private events including details of
international tours
- Upload reviews
- Avoid clashes when planning events
- Find mutually beneficial partnerships
- Improve communication with other UK arts organisations, and government and
arts development agencies
- Be promoted internationally by GREAT partners including across partner
websites and social media channels
- Discover ways to expand projects abroad with the help of GREAT
partners’ network.
The tool now has the extended capability to host details of UK touring events overseas as well as upcoming national campaigns such as First World War Centenary and Shakespeare 400 which will provide much-valued input for British cultural diplomacy, trade, education and tourism promotion around the world.
Who is the Culture Diary for?
