Abstract
This study has set out to find out how likely are the arts organisations to play a role in enabling more sustainable arts by analysing three dimensions of its governance characteristics: level of government, level of art institutions, and the sustainable arts themselves as a sector. These dimensions were articulated in four objectives of the research. To evaluate what is the interpretation of “sustainability” that art organisations currently hold. To identify and evaluate the key characteristics of a few case studies of sustainable arts. To understand the role of arts organisations in supporting the sustainable arts in the above case studies. And lastly, as a matter of policy recommendations, provide advice for how arts institutions can better support the sustainable arts and artists through policies and support mechanisms. The research presented a recount of sustainable arts in Wales, which paints a picture of how the global sustainable agenda has, and will continue to, find its way into smaller local “planning” through the arts initiatives in the UK –through softer forms of planning and multi-level, multi-actor, cross-disciplinary planning. After the findings the discussion revealed some complex notions, which bring depth of about sustainable arts, but indicate that some findings are elusive. Both the organisations enable and through the process and medium of art create discussions around topics of sustainability, as such it is separate to separate sustainable arts from sustainable arts organisations. To understand the role of arts organisations in supporting these arts, therefore, it is recommended that future research be nuanced about what the analytical object is very clearly, by outlining what their main organisational feature is. This could provide narrow study cases but could be fruitful for research in community arts, local regeneration and especially the psychology of behavioural change.
