Making Time is a new initiative that responds to the climate emergency, bringing the ideas of artists and art production into conversation with new material possibilities. Artangel, Science Gallery London, Brighton CCA, and Radar at the University of Loughborough have partnered to facilitate a year of material experimentation for artists wanting to explore sustainable new material production.

The year-long programme supports artists to innovate, experiment, explore, fail and succeed in the production of new materials.

Making Time is devised by Artangel and produced in partnership with Science Gallery London at King's College London. The programme is supported by Brighton CCA at the University of Brighton and Radar at Loughborough University.
