Plymouth Culture
We are the sector development organisation for arts and culture in Plymouth. Our role is to enable increased and improved cultural provision, create opportunities for creatives and encourage diverse participation in culture.
We assume many roles including broker, convener, commissioner, adviser, critical friend and co-ordinator to drive place-based cultural transformation through partnerships.
Declaration
We declare that the Earth’s life-supporting systems are in collapse, threatening biodiversity and human societies everywhere. We believe that the cultural and creative sector have an exciting role to play as we all make changes towards a brighter greener future.
From 2023 until 2025 we are developing and delivering a programme to connect the creative sector in Plymouth to the energy and other sectors for innovative and wide-reaching change. We will focus on:
- developing a creative sector with green credentials by collectively working towards a net zero and environment positive position for culture in Plymouth;
supporting creative practitioners to deliver new impactful projects with knowledge and confidence of the climate emergency;
Connecting Plymouth to a national network of art and energy partners to possibly replicate the model.
We’ll also record, measure and understand the impacts of our own activities in the years to come allowing us to take further environmental actions in areas we have not explored before.
