The Centre for Arts, Research and Culture is an interdisciplinary curatorial framework that brings together artists, universities and galleries through research fellowships, artist-led projects and public programmes across the United Kingdom.

The Centre has recently formalised collaborative exchange with research-oriented art programmes in the United States, engaging with initiatives such as the Art & Design Research Network at Virginia Commonwealth University, the Interdisciplinary Arts Research programme at Arizona State University, the Art + Research initiatives at the University of New Mexico, and independent curatorial research platforms based within US university art departments. These collaborations support international dialogue, artistic research and cross-cultural exchange in contemporary practice.
