A practical day designed to give individual artists knowledge about how arts’ practice relates to the Climate Emergency and empower you to make a difference in the lead up to Scotland’s Climate Week (7-13 Oct). The emphasis will be on information, discussion and working together on devising a useful toolkit. We can contribute positive handprints as well as negative footprints to our environment!

• Jonathan Baxter – currently involved in a residency project with Sarah Gittins at Deveron Projects; also involved with Extinction Rebellion.
• Elizabeth Ogilvie – Fife-based artist with international reputation who has been exploring the subject of ice and the Arctic. Founder of Lateral Lab which works with art & the environment.
