We've signed the Green Arts Charter! We've been working with Creative Carbon Scotland to develop the Green Arts Charter, a collaborative sustainability agreement designed for and by cultural organisations within the Green Arts Initiative. The charter outlines four environmental and sustainability pledges that the network is committing to, as well as a framework of milestones that organisations can use to guide their action planning. We encourage fellow Green Arts Initiative members to read more and sign the charter via the link below. #GreenArtsCharter #CreativeCarbonScotland

Join us on 15 Nov for an online 'in discussion' event with contemporary music composers The BICC, Soojin Chang, Max Farrell, Rubie Green and Arun Sood. This event is part of our ‘in discussion’ series which brings together cohorts of residents to share and discuss their work and research. The five composers were selected for week-long residencies as part of our Creative Practitioner Residencies series. These residencies were open to UK-based composers with between three and six years of professional experience who were yet to have work performed on a significant scale. The event is free to attend and will take place on Wednesday 15 November, 18:00-19:30 (GMT), on Zoom. Tickets can be booked via the link below - we hope to see you there! #bothyproject #onlinetalk #music #contemporarycomposition https://lnkd.in/etRNZerA
