Creative Sustainability

By Creative Plus Business

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?

The answer is yes.

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.

Part of our Evening Education Series!

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

Who’s it for?
