Sustainable Art Production and Impact Assessments Workshop

​Join Ian Garrett, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts (CSPA), to explore available tools and methodologies available to evaluate the environmental impact of your art productions and exhibitions. This session will introduce key guidelines and best practices for measuring and reducing carbon footprints in the arts, cover elements from energy consumption to material usage, and offer examples of how these assessments have been used to drive change in artistic production, organizational operations, and cultural policy.
