The Arts Green Book : Sustainable Buildings

Published in November 2022, The Arts Green Book : Sustainable Buildingsis an initiative by the cultural sectors – working with sustainability experts Buro Happold and supported by Arts Council England and the GLA – providing free advice on how to ensure that cultural buildings can become energy efficient, and less reliant on non-renewable sources of energy. The Arts Green Book sits alongside the widely used Theatre Green Book which in addition to guidance on Sustainable Buildings includes volumes on Sustainable Productions and Sustainable Operations.  

In these two online seminars, Paddy Dillon and Lisa Burger of Renew Culture will set out the key principles behind the Arts Green Book, showing museum and gallery organisations what they need do to make their building sustainable, and how to plan the process from identifying key actions and putting in hand easy wins, to programming maintenance and planning capital projects.

? Tuesday 25 April, 14.00 – 14.45

? Thursday 18 May, 09.00 – 09.45

Circulate Submissions close this FRDAY!

Just a reminder that if your museum or gallery have any small-is surplus material kicking about, please consider submitting to our newly launched Circulate scheme! Be sure to get them in before the end of this Friday, March 10th.

This is a new scheme inspired by our Museocycle initiative, where any objects or items (in good nick of course) will be listed on here to be taken by another institution, all for free! Museocycle will still be operating for the bigger items, such as display cases, this scheme is for smaller surplus items. Ideally, these are items that can easily be sent by post or collected from site. For example, if you have any surplus lanyards or notebooks, those kinds of materials will definitely be useful for another institution. 

Sites will need to organise transportation/delivery themselves, the description will detail whether pick-up or postal services will be needed.

If you would like to list an item, please provide the required information as listed below and send your listing to bria.cotton@manchester.ac.uk during the submission period of Tuesday, February 28th 2023 –  Friday, March 10th 2023. We will reply to submission to confirm we have received it. No pictures are required.

Once we have reviewed the listing we will add it to the Excel spreadsheet for it to go live on Monday, March 20th 2023, until Saturday, April 1st 2023 (no joke!).  If you find an item that you would like to take, please get in the contact with the person listed next to the item.

The Circulate scheme is currently in testing mode, so if you have any comments or suggestions for how we can improve this scheme, please send them to bria.cotton@manchester.ac.uk .
