Programs

Please take a look at our currently active programs at the CSPA

CSPA Connect

CSPA Connect is a dedicated social network for artists and others bringing sustainability into the arts to meet-up online. You can discuss projects and issues, post video, pictures and events related to your efforts in building a sustainable practice, as well as start groups to organize around projects, locations, issues etcetera.

We also offer ways to connect to each other and directly to the center through a variety of social media including facebook and twitter.

CSPA Wiki

The CSPA Wiki is the backbone of the CSPA’s online resources. It is an open source, free, easy to edit way to share and organize information about sustainable practice in the arts online. By registering you become an equal part in the community. After you’ve confirmed your email you are able to freely add to, edit, and maintain our growing database of sustainable knowledge.

CSPA Institute

The CSPA Institute Gives artists the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to incorporate sustainable practice into their own as part of their professional training at an established academic institution. Through the CSPA Institute we develop workshops and work with institutions of higher learning to build sustainable arts curriculum.

We are currently working with members of the CalArts School of Theater to develop curriculum that integrates sustainable practices into theater degree programs.

The CSPA’s educationally efforts focus on open source learning, both in the sharing of information and the system’s which enable that sharing.

CSPA Convergence

The CSPA Convergence is an annual event that gathers industry leaders, educations, students and the general public to share ideas and celebrate the year’s innovation.

The first convergence was held in partnership with The Ecodrama Playwrights Festival and Symposium and took place on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon May 21 – 31, 2009. We organized a series of focused think tanks, panels and presentations within the context of the greater symposium.
