Coventry Dresden Arts Exchange was established as an Unincorporated Association in 2015 with a Constitution that states.

The Coventry/Dresden Arts Exchange is an artists-led grassroots initiative which seeks to develop dialogue between artists from the cities of Coventry and Dresden and to establish collaborative partnerships of exchanges, exhibitions, educational projects and forums.

The Coventry/Dresden Arts Exchange programme will provide opportunities for artists, art historians, curators and audiences, venues and organisations in both cities to participate. The focus is on the contemporary arts and developing access to them through events, exhibitions, exchanges, education, collaboration and partnerships

Membership is inclusive and open to all Coventry-based artists who were born, live or work in Coventry or the surrounding area and support the aims of the group.

The 'Group' also welcomes those British artists, art historians and curators who, though not based in Coventry, have a particular interest in the Coventry/Dresden relationship, German art history and/or peace and reconciliation between the two cites.

The Association has an Equal Opportunity and Safeguarding Policies.
