Timeline
SAIL hosted its April Members Meeting at Leeds City Museum, featuring presentations from Leeds Arts University, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and The Highrise Project. The event also included climate poetry, creative stalls featuring sustainable artists and researchers to showcase their inspiring work and progress in the sustainable arts sector.
On 29th April, SAIL carried out a full day of collections and deliveries, visiting six organisations across Leeds and Shipley. From collecting foam boards at the Royal Armouries to delivering London style set pieces to Bradford Movie Makers, the day highlighted the strength of local collaboration.
To mark Earth Day, SAIL published the first edition of Stories From The Hub, a collection of recent and inspiring stories highlighting how materials have been shared and reused through the Resource Hub. By sharing these real-world examples, we’re using storytelling as a tool to celebrate circularity.
SAIL took part in the ReStage workshop led by Sara Turnbull, which brought together 20 organisations from across the UK. The session focused on sharing future plans, identifying common barriers, and exploring what each group hopes to contribute to and gain from the growing ReStage network.
Leeds Playhouse delivered two van loads of reusable materials to the SAIL Resource Hub, including stage flats, perspex sheets, and faux brick walls. These items are now available to be re-homed across the creative and cultural sector, supporting circular practices and reducing waste.
