Artists, curators, and other art practitioners are invited to exchange on environmentally sustainable artist studio practices.

Join us for an online talk and discussion event about environmentally sustainable artist studio practices. We will discuss how far artists have come in adopting sustainable working methods and the challenges they face in doing so.
