The Creative Arts Department is committed to sustainability in the arts and reducing the use of new products wherever possible.

Looking for a stack of coat hangers for your upcoming musical but don’t want to buy new ones? Need a bunch of blankets for your outdoor theatre experience?

From tech equipment to crayons to 2-metre long baby pink blocks, check out our list of things you can borrow before you buy something new.
