Our vision is for talent from the Global Ethnic Majority to be recognised, nurtured, and celebrated.
We’re here to champion inclusivity and equity in the creative industries. We do this through talent development, delivered through our Connect-Create-Cultivate-Transform-Exchange model. Together, we want to transform the leadership landscape within the creative industries!

CONNECT
Connect is our foundation. We listen, learn and build meaningful relationships with artists, communities and partners. Through dialogue and collaboration, we identify shared ambitions and create the conditions for creative and civic growth. Find out more here.
CREATE
Create is where ideas developed through Connect are realised. We collaborate to produce ambitious artistic work, support underrepresented talent and ensure our programmes are inclusive, relevant and representative of the communities we serve. Find out more here.
CULTIVATE
Cultivate strengthens talent and grassroots organisations. Drawing on the expertise, networks and infrastructure of New Art Exchange, we invest in sustainable growth, resilience and long-term development across our creative ecosystem. Find out more here.
TRANSFORM
Transform focuses on leadership and structural change. We nurture Global Ethnic Majority leaders across executive, creative, curatorial and trustee roles, reshaping representation and influence within the cultural sector. Find out more here.
EXCHANGE
Exchange connects local leadership and creativity to global partnerships. Through reciprocal international relationships, we enable artists and institutions to collaborate across borders while remaining rooted in place, shared learning and accountability. Find out more here.
