CULTURAL CONNECTIONS CC
Facilitating the Nordic Applied Arts

GALLERY PROFILE

Cultural Connections CC was founded in 1998 by Birthe Fraser to promote Danish / Nordic Applied Art in the UK, a natural progression from more than a decade as Cultural Attaché to Denmark's London Embassy and with a professional background as an archaeologist of the ancient Middle East with particular knowledge of ceramics, faience and glass.

Cultural Connections CC combines an expertise in the Nordic applied art traditions with a knowledge of the actual production techniques ancient as well as modern and can also provide curatorial and adjudicating as well as an advisory service.

Cultural Connections CC has a full yearly exhibition programme information on which can be found in the Diary section.
