Connecting creativity to social change

If we're going to move the arts' response to climate change forward we need to create inclusive environments, to exchange ideas and  avoid duplicating our work unnecessarily. With that in mind, welcome to the RSA Arts and Ecology Centre Hub.

This is a place where artists, academics, campaigners and organisations working on responses to climate change can connect, share resources and information, and find new ways to work together.

The network's strength relies on the people who join it. If you haven't subscribed to our monthly newsletter, please do - put your email address in the box to the left of this page. If you haven't taken a look or left your thoughts on the blog, please do. 

If you're an organisation working in the field of arts, science or ecology, and you want to have your information listed in The Hub, email here. If you are running a course which you feel might be of interested to visitors to The Hub, email here. Are you issuing a call for submissions for proposed artworks or for a conference? Are you running an event which you think should be listed in the calendar? If you're an artist whose work responds to the envionment agenda and you want to have your website listed in The Hub, email here
