Blog Series – Supporting Environmental Sustainability in Performing Arts Heritage – Part Three

APAC is committed to supporting the preservation of the UK and Ireland’s performing arts heritage for future generations, but we are aware of the threat that the climate crisis presents to this task. In the third blog of the series we’re sharing groups and organisations that are embedding sustainability in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) sector, as well as resources, events and training opportunities to explore.
