MA ART & ENVIRONMENT receives a HIGH COMMENDATION AWARD
MA ART & ENVIRONMENT receives a HIGH COMMENDATION AWARD at the 2025 GREEN GOWN AWARDS UK & IRELAND
On November 6th, TU Dublin won four environmental sustainability awards at this year's Green Gown Awards Ceremony in Birmingham.
This achievement marks the highest number of awards received by any university in the UK and Ireland, surpassing prestigious institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, and Edinburgh, with Lecturer at the School of Art Dr. Glenn Loughran receiving a High Commendation in the category of Benefitting Society for his work on the MA Art and Environment program.
Reflecting on this unique archipelagic master’s programme the Vice President for Sustainability at TU Dublin, Jennifer Boyer, wrote:
The MA in Art and Environment demonstrates the vital role of the creative arts in addressing the planetary crisis in climate and biodiversity. We have the technological solutions for many of the pressing issues, but the messaging and conversations around these wicked problems are best articulated by artists and creatives who are embedded in their communities. This practice-based course is being delivered in an island community that is marginalised both geographically and socially, and the benefits to the community and to society are clearly visible.
The MA Art and Environment is an Archipelagic Master programme delivered on the Islands of West Cork.
