Mission

Position the arts and culture sector as a driver of sustainable societies.

The Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts (CSPA) aims to position the arts and culture sector as a driver of sustainable societies by providing tools, research, educational resources, training, & consultation services related to sustainable development.

We are a coalition of arts and environmental practitioners interested in promoting environmental stewardship in the Canadian arts and culture sector. We believe that believe artists are agents of cultural change, animators of public imagination, and experts in world-making. The CSPA views sustainability as the intersection of environmental balance, social equity, economic stability and a strong cultural infrastructure.
