INTRODUCTION

RSA Arts & Ecology is a catalyst for the insights, imaginations and inspirations of artists who are responding to environmental changes and emergencies. The programme supports the work of the arts in examining and addressing social and environmental concerns in an interdisciplinary and international arena. 

The project consists of three inter-related strands:

ARTS & ECOLOGY ONLINE
We are developing a new ambitious website as a major international hub for information to bring more artists and organisations into the debate, engage a wider public of different ages and backgrounds and encourage an interdisciplinary exploration of the subjects. The site will profile the programme’s own work and will also contain a magazine section for comment, features, news and events and an international activity forum for artists and organisations to profile their own projects.  

To contribute ideas on content and what you would like to see on the website do please e-mail art@rsa.org.uk

ARTS & ECOLOGY EXCHANGES
A series of Exchanges between artists and politicians, scientists, journalists to raise issues, bring different perspectives, talk across disciplines and animate the debate.

ARTS & ECOLOGY INTERNATIONAL
A series of projects across the world which will be set up as partnerships. The narrative of these will be played out on the website to encourage further discourse and exchange.
