If  you are interested in the arts – whether it be music, dance, art,  sculpture, photography, theatre, literature, film… you may have noticed  that the coverage on television can be quite limited. Of course, there  are the conventional concert and opera relays available from various  sources, as well as some documentaries, but there is a huge amount of  material that you will never see in the UK, because it is neither  commissioned nor acquired here. That has now changed.

With one  click, The Arts Channel becomes your portal into hours of fascinating,  quality arts film and television from around the world: Music  documentaries from Spain, performance from Russia, dance from The  Netherlands, art from South Africa, architecture from Australia,  photography from France, theatre from America and lots more of all this  from independent British producers. All international programming is  either subtitled or more often has an English commentary.
