Greening Your Art Practice
Saturday 17 May 2025, 11.30am-3pm. Free.

This event focuses on opening up knowledge and networks for artists practising or interested in the growing area of ecologically conscious contemporary art. During the event we will hear from three speakers whose varied practices focus on ecological themes and/or sustainable approaches to art making: Alice Burnhope, Chris Poolman (General Public) and Marie Smith. This will be followed by a wider discussion moderated by Zoë Lippett, (Exhibitions and Artists’ Projects Curator) intended to support collective artist engagement in this area.
This event coincides with the Gallery’s current exhibition Earthbound and connects to our long-term mission to embed a sustainable and conscientious environmental policy into all our work.
