Creativity and planet saving can go hand in hand, but can those of us running small creative businesses or independent arts organisations really make that much of a difference? Does a creative freelancer really make a positive impact?

In this relaxed and informative FREE webinar we'll be chatting with experts from different areas of creative work about practical tips and strategies for incorporating sustainability into a small business, independent arts organisation or freelance practice. You’ll learn how to reduce your environmental footprint, conserve resources, and create a more sustainable future for the arts.

A 60 minute webinar with our creative industries experts (which you can access later if you want) plus lifetime access to additional resources.

Creative and arts practitioners, freelancers, start-ups, and arts entrepreneurs from beginners to established (international sign-ups welcome!). This webinar will also be helpful for those managing small to medium arts organisations who would like more insight into neurodiversity in practice.
