ArtsBuild Energy Conservation Program Launch!

It may be that nothing is certain but rain and taxes, but our experience shows that it’s likely your facility could benefit from implementing some energy conservation measures. That’s why last week we introduced the ArtsBuild Energy Conservation Program.

Designed to help arts organizations identify and implement cost-effective energy conservation projects for their buildings, the ArtsBuild Energy Conservation Program is designed specifically for creative spaces including theatres, galleries, concert halls, museums and other arts facilities.
