- Sustainability is a key concern for artists and arts organisations across Scotland. It is hoped this programme will bring benefit to artist’s practice, communities and the environments in which they live and work. It has been designed in response to sector needs identified by Creative Scotland and Social Enterprise Academy. We are welcoming learners from across Scotland to the programme to explore these themes, looking at what is already working, how to sustain this and identifying what needs to change and how to make this happen.
