GCC was founded in 2020 by a group of gallerists and professionals working in the visual art sector as an attempt to develop a meaningful and industry-specific response to the growing climate crisis. It now operates as a quickly growing international charity and coalition, employing 3 members of staff and serving over 800 members made up of artists, museums, non-profits, art sector businesses and commercial galleries.
As we extend our activities we are looking to expand the Board of Trustees that will lead the organisation during this exciting phase of development and growth.
GCC’s primary goal is to facilitate a reduction of the sector’s CO2e emissions by a minimum of 50% by 2030, as well as promote zero waste. We develop and share best practice, provide leadership on sector-specific environmental issues, and work to leverage the collective power of our membership to achieve systemic changes.
