Welcome to E A S T online

In 2006 Chinese Arts Centre carried out research for Arts Council England to establish EAST (East Asian Strategic Training). The idea for the scheme came from the disproportionately low number of applications from East Asian artists to Grants for the arts. Since the start of the scheme Arts Council England has already noticed an increase in successful grants for arts applications from East Asian artists since EAST started. In 2007/2008 EAST is delivering a range of workshops, seminars, information and events to support and develop the careers of East Asian Artists.

The Eastonline website was established in 2006 and has grown at a phenomenal rate quickly establishing itself as an important information source for artists of East Asian descent who are based in London. The website contains an extensive database of artists and organisations, alongside an amazing resources section which offers invaluable information and support to artists.
