Sculpture Placement Group
ARMS is a company which includes representatives from across the creative industries, with a collective goal to create new ways for the cultural sector in Scotland to share resources, materials and equipment.
CAN is a platform dedicated to fostering sustainability and creative exchange within the arts. It connects artists, makers, and organisations to share resources, skills, and materials, supporting a circular economy in the creative sector.

A series of conversations exploring the intersection of visual art and ecology. Through interviews with artists, designers, organisations and researchers, Material Change reflects on creative practice in the context of the ecological emergency.
SPG Loan places sculptural works into public and non-traditional spaces, offering long-term loans to organisations, community groups, and educational settings. The programme supports the visibility of contemporary sculpture while rethinking models of access, display, and care.
