STIRart encourages the use of waste, scrap and recycled materials in the pursuit of artistic endeavours and we are dedicated to finding business solutions to sustain our activities without recourse to external funding.
 

STIRart and the environment

STIRart promotes the use of waste into art, providing opportunities for artists to contribute towards STIRnetwork's goal of encouraging the sustainable use of resources. With our exhibitions, STIRart provides an opportunity for artists to explore the potential of waste products as an artisit's raw materials, and encourages them to innovate accordingly.
