LANDS is the name of an arts and sustainability working group programme seeded by Arts Lancashire.
An acronym for Lancashire Arts Network for Developing Sustainability, LANDS is a vital programme of climate action, engagement, advocacy and support for Lancashire artists and arts organisations. Its aim is to deliver Climate Justice by working together as a sector to address the unequal impact of the climate crisis and foster a sustainable creative community. We will do this by sharing knowledge and best practice across our local sector about making artistic practice more sustainable as part of a wider commitment to contribute to Lancashire’s net zero target.
LANDS is a member of:
Project Constellation Network facilitated by SAIL, a network of green arts networks across the country who come together quarterly to share learnings, successes, challenges, and to provide opportunities for collaboration on ideas, opportunities and funding for sustainable approaches to making art.
Lancashire Climate Action Network, a network of community-oriented organisations in Lancashire working on climate action to help mobilise Lancashire’s community voice and action on climate change, working collaboratively with others to advance the county’s climate agenda.
The Lancashire Arts Network for Developing Sustainablity (LANDS) officially launched at the Lancashire Arts Exchange on Wednesday 13 March 2024 at Horse + Bamboo in Rossendale during a day of presentations, panel discussions and workshops curated by LANDS on Climate Leadership, Action and Justice in the arts.
