Connecting arts and sustainability
This year’s conference had the theme of ‘Spotlight on Sustainability’: encouraging practitioners and participants to focus on the key actions and activities they are undertaking to contribute to a more sustainable society, and providing an opportunity to share and gain knowledge from those working in the field.

The Green Arts Conference is the annual conference for the Green Arts community: a gathering of members of the Green Arts Initiative and cultural green practice in Scotland, hosted by Creative Carbon Scotland. The Green Art Initiative is a year-round community of practice that spans the range of Scottish art forms, and focuses on providing support to organisations on both reducing their environmental impact, and increasing their positive contributions to sustainability. You can find out more, and join, here.
The Green Arts Initiative is supported by PR Print and Design, and the Green Arts Conference was also supported by some of the best sustainable suppliers in the country: Take One Media, the Green Stationery Company, Resource Efficient Scotland, Glasgow Wood Recycling and Vegware!
We believe cultural and creative organisations have a significant influencing power to help shape a sustainable Scotland for the 21st century.
