Resources
GCC Resources offer relevant information and sustainability guidelines for galleries, artist studios, non-profits & institutions as well as other art-sector businesses. They have been produced collaboratively by GCC Research Groups, the GCC Team, and our environmental advisors. All information is continually refined and updated. Contributions and feedback are welcome. Included graphics are for illustrative purposes only.
