The University of the Arts London has 7 arts shops across all Colleges, offering art, fashion and other specialist tools and materials.
The arts shops are run by UAL, staffed by artists and are not for profit. We're not subsidised by the university and are financially self sufficient. This means that the products sold in the arts shops cover our retail staff salaries.
The products you will find in the different arts shops will vary. Over the years we've worked together with College technicians and course leaders to make sure we stock the items our students require for their specialist courses, as well as a variety of creative consumables.
We employ staff who have art and design backgrounds. They're able to advise students on the best products for their projects.
Working with suppliers, we've pushed them to look at more sustainable practices. Some suppliers have taken this on board, reducing their plastic packaging and introducing more recycled and recyclable art materials.
Where appropriate and if price allows, we switch products to be from a sustainable source or better yet recycled.
The arts shops have decided to stop selling plastic carrier bags. Once sites run out of their current stock there will be no plastic carrier bags in the arts shops.
This is all part of the arts shops push to be more sustainable.
