Cultural Exchange Coalition launched

Stars have joined forces with creative and cultural organisations from across the UK and Europe to remove barriers to touring, support cultural exchange and drive growth.

In addition to SOLT & UK Theatre, the Cultural Exchange Coalition (CEC) includes the Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN), the European Music Exporters Exchange (EMEE), the European Music Managers Alliance (EMMA), the Independent Society of Musicians (ISM), LIVE, the Musicians’ Union, One Dance UK, Pearle* and UK Music. 

Among the stars backing the new coalition are musical icons Dame Evelyn Glennie, Jools Holland OBE, and Level 42 bassist Mark King. 

The CEC also includes more than 50 EU businesses from across the creative industries. We are encouraging members and partners to sign up to support the campaign. For a full list of CEC members please see the newly launched CEC website here
