Sustainable practice in artist-in-residence programmes

Understanding sustainability in artist residencies – questionnaire request

The CYCLE UP! project is developing a guide to sustainable residencies, and your insights can help shape it.

To support this effort, a brief questionnaire has been designed to explore current sustainability practices in residency spaces. Most questions are optional, so you can focus on areas most relevant to you. Your responses will contribute to both the project manual and the sustainability approach in residencies organized by the Goethe-Institut.
