ScottishPower Foundation recognises the increasing demand for funding within the art and culture sector, further exacerbated by recent periods of austerity experienced in the UK. Art and culture play a significant role in raising awareness, fostering empathy, and driving action towards climate change and sustainability. Through audience engagement, art can make complex environmental issues seem more tangible, encouraging reflection, change and a shift towards sustainability within the art world itself.
The ScottishPower Foundation’s Art for Climate Fund will finance two multi-year projects that contribute towards the goal of building knowledge and capacity to meet climate change. Aligning with several UN Sustainable Development Goals, a two-year grant from this fund aims to increase the capacity of arts charities to design, develop and implement innovative solutions that respond to the climate crisis.
It is anticipated that the fund will award two grants of £100,000 administered over two years.
