Tuesday 6th October saw art markers, students, appreciators and collectors, as well as those interested in the future of the green scene, assemble at the Beauchamp Hotel for the first international greenups collaboration. The night was a fantastic opportunity to see art and green unite, with a slide show of international art from Sam Bower, director of the Green Musuem. Attendees were also able to knit, crochet and weave in the name of sustainability, supporting Knitty Gritty & Loopy’s campaign to make 350 baskets from plastic bags, which will be exhibited at the Opera House for the 350 project.

We’d like to thank the Beauchamp Hotel for hosting the event and for their continued support of green initiatives. The beautifully restored hotel was a perfect venue for the night, with a sustainable design, eco-friendly lighting and lamps made from recycled polystyrene cups! Thanks also to Green Magazine for the magazine subscription door prize.

Please be sure to join us for the next green drinks on the first Tuesday in November!
