The Art Beats festival is an exciting, creative collaboration between Lancaster University in the UK and Sunway University in Malaysia. The digital nature of the festival allows artists from both countries to come together and share their work with people from around the world. Bringing together art, film, music and theatre, Art Beats includes a range of events as well as an online gallery.

An international collaboration
Lancaster University and Sunway University have a long history of partnering together to support global education, student mobility and international research. In 2006, the two universities established an academic partnership which has grown from an initial cohort of 21 graduates to around 4,500 students who are enrolled in courses.
