Webinar: Refresh – Making It Greener

After a couple of ‘unsettled’ years, the 2022 Outdoor Arts season is getting underway, so OAUK is hosting a short series of Drop-In refresher sessions to help you get back on the road.

These are very light-touch events for you to have a quick refresh knowledge and a few nudges about how to make things work in some important areas. We’ll be asking the speakers to share their top ten tips to help get you through the summer.

Our final webinar, Making It Greener, offers ideas and advice on how to improve the environmental impact of outdoor touring work and festival presentation. It runs from 11-12 on 30 Jun, with 30 minutes for the speakers and 30 minutes for questions.
