Support and Funding

Sponsors

ST/art recognises that there are already some manufacturers of period products committed to ecological sustainability. We commend these initiatives and will be supporting them through the key messages of the exhibition.

We hope this exhibition will encourage other manufacturers to recognise the importance of making products more affordable and sustainable in the future.
