  • Sustainable Practices

    Group description

    To provide a space for sharing information, resources and good practice relating to sustainable, environmentally-conscious art making. This could include exploring environmentally sustainable alternatives to common art materials, sharing ideas for projects which focus attention on climate and the eco-crisis, or working together on projects or proposals which center sustainable or ecological themes.

    Who is this group for?

    Artists who are engaged in environmentally conscious art making, or who wish to explore sustainability with the support of a like-minded peer network.

    Code of conduct

    • Engaging with users No matter where you engage on the network with your peers, we expect all users to treat one another with kindness and respect. We’re all here to learn, and sometimes people make mistakes. If you see something that you think is harmful, please report it so we can act. Each profile has a Report button at the end, or you can email us at artquest@arts.ac.uk.
    • Unacceptable behaviour We do not allow harassment nor any content that promotes, encourages, glorifies, or threatens acts of violence. We also do not allow causing or contributing to an atmosphere that excludes or marginalises other members.
    • Sensitive content and imagery We do not allow any content that promotes, encourages, provides instruction for, or glorifies suicidal or self-injurious behaviours. We also do not allow content that promotes, encourages, provides instruction for, or glorifies harm or cruelty.
    • Harmful political content We do not allow political content that encourages harm to others or that supports, celebrates, or furthers the cause of violent actors and hate organisations. We may, in some places, allow pointed or harsh criticism of political figures, their policies, and governments (including satirical statements) as long as they do not otherwise violate this Code of Conduct.
    • Misleading information We do not allow any content that promotes false, harmful, or misleading information that carries the risk of harm to a person or group of people. We also do not allow content that promotes false or misleading information for the purpose of promoting the interests of a political party, government, or ideology.
    • Fake profiles We do not allow any profiles that pretend to be someone they’re not. The network works best when populated by individual professional visual artists only, and we will work to make sure no other people become members. If you find a profile that seems not to be an artist, please use the Report button and our team will investigate.
    • Usernames and profiles While we encourage users to express themselves in their profiles, all user profiles in their entirety are subject to the Code of Conduct.
    • Reporting Every person contributes to building a collaborative, respectful community. If you find unacceptable behaviour you can Report the profile or content to artquest@arts.ac.uk. Our team reviews reports regularly, and users who don’t follow the Code of Conduct in good faith may face account suspension or blocking.
    • All actions will be taken on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of our team. If you’re not satisfied with one of our decisions, you are welcome to appeal it by contacting us directly. We review each report individually and will respond as quickly as we can.
